Diana, I couldn't agree more and I recommend that folks obtain a personal email name and address from some vendor like iMail or the like. Then, if you want to change your ISP you don't have to change your address because you own it. As an example, my address is dick@therapist.net and I chose it because I am a psychotherapist. I have changed ISP's twice since I got the address. You can follow an individual address back to the vendor by simply typing www.therapist.net where anyone can obtain an address. Regards, Dick Hudson
