They're getting good too I have to search hard to find one to get past. It's
not only forums its almost any site with a signup.

There aren't THAT many free full service mail accounts in the English
language. Some of the crew I work with on civil rights gigs found some
foreign language sites and they use those. Basically because we have so damn
much money in the USA we have to pay. Most other countries realize the
people can't pay so they still give free email with IMAP/SMTP and they don't
have the money to make a police state like we have either. Except maybe
England with their cute little cameras taking everybody's pictures.
