not-so-hotmail

i have a love/hate relationship with hotmail. it is a wonderful tool that allows us to communicate freely and quickly with most people (who have computer access) around the world. the fact that it is free i find astounding, and am grateful for. however, when i signed in this morning, checked my new incoming mail and went to reply, i was told that i was blocked from sending my email out because my inbox was full to capacity. i would be unable to send mail for 24 hours. this after i had spent the previous 20 minutes composing the letter. i was pretty upset at first. but then i simply put the experience in my column of irritations hotmail has presented me with over the years. yes, i know i should change email hosts, but i am too lame and lazy to do it. i would rather sit here and complain about it. i guess what irks me the most is the fact that i feel like i am being punished, by hotmail, for having a full account. the main reason my account was full is from the overwhelming ammount of junk email and spam that seems to keep showing up despite new laws and legislations preventing it. it is all so out of my control, yet, like an addict, i keep coming back to it. so now i must wait 24 hours to send my emails to people. this is worse punishment than i received from my parents growing up.
