Re: Ahhh scuse me?

"Is it just me or the obviousness that the said owner of the hotmail account decided to use hotmail"

... not if said user created such account 9-10 years ago, or during the rise of the eeeevil MSN Messenger. Back then, Hotmail/MSN emails were the only way to get a Passport account. Even when using other emails was made possible, well... try telling your 300+ contacts you're swapping addys and watch how many get lost in the change. Mostly my hotmail addy turned into a spamcatcher now ...
