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?

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.
