    Do you have an actual reason to back up this assertion?

    What if they just don't want people storing the content of their email
    and are competent enough to manage their own server? Or what if they
    have their own domain but it is virtually hosted within a larger
    service provider?

    Your browser can't do a search within the page and highlight what
    you're looking for?

    So because the rest of the "new netizen order" are mentally defective,
    everyone else must retard themselves to fit in with the sheeple?

    Aren't you that tmblahblah@aol.com that keeps harassing people then
    gets kicked off the list, only to show up again as a slightly altered
    alias? Methinks that is the real reason you use web mail
    providers...using your own domain for harassing people would make it
    too easy to block you.
