There is no justification for net abuse. As a matter of interest, was your original account pulled because Freeserve themselves detected the abuse or did the target of your abuse complain to Freeserve? > What is the problem?? I made a mistake. I have learned. I *KNOW* there are > better ways to get someone for pissing me off. You don't need to tell me > that. I was actually reassured by your acknowledgement of previous sins and I wasn't being critical of you personally. Not everyone can be expected to behave after correction, however, hence my ironic comment. Freeserve don't seem to restrict registrations and it seems too easy for people to open multiple accounts, abuse them all in turn, then open more new accounts as soon as the existing ones are yanked. Doubtless *@*.freeserve.* will find its way into lots of kill files, given time, unless Freeserve tighten up their registration procedures.
