I suppose that's true, but I bet that e.g. my name is in their password file. If they're giving anyone the impression I use that system, I sure don't appreciate it. I also don't like the idea of an account sitting around waiting to be hacked, so that someone could start receiving mail at my best.com address and claiming to be me. It might be unlikely, but there's no reason it should even be possible. I certainly expected the account to disappear completely when the Best servers were retired, and with good reason. I don't need this. Thanks again, Verio!
