A good question, but maybe it should have been broken in half:
1. Let users have yahoo and hotmail accounts?
2. Let users use aliases?

I voted against a combined question, but would have voted yes on #1 and no on #2.

good idea Bob - tell us all how you do that.
Do you have the way to keep Yahoo and Hotmail users from using aliases?
Please do not answer with ANYTHING that takes more of my time - I have none left to give.

Likewise, but I voted Yes in the poll. I still favor the first but not the second part of the poll question.

Thank you Robbie - I thought I was in the Twilight Zone for a minute.

>>>That makes no sense, there is no way for you to tell if a person registered a yahoo or hotmail account under an alias or not. I believe letting users use email accounts with no billing address or proof of identity would hurt the integrity of Astromart.

I think that's the bottomline, no way to know if Hotmail or Yahoo users are using an alias or not. How long does it take to setup a Yahoo account, a minute or two?

LOL!

I have yahoo and hotmail blocked on my computer because of all the spam, viri, etc. Used to have AOL addresses blocked too but they seemed to have cleaned up their act as of late, much to the glee of my mother and sister who refuse to change from AOL.
