Posted By lewes Not really a H&S issue but came apparent in another thread. I use an hotmail address as my primary email account as it gives me access where ever I am. Is a hotmail email address a bad thing and not professional or ..... Your comments please

Posted By waiks Well I put up with the snobbery because I use a yahoo account. It's convenient for checking whether I'm at work or at home (yes I'm sad enough to check these chat rooms during some weekends). And I'd rather not identify my place of work online but if I contact a poster directly sometimes I do use my work email. I think trust should depend more on the queries rather than the type of email account.

Posted By Descarte I ttink eveyone should get a hotmail account, how else are you going to find out about the amazing medical advances in the field of herbal viagra or be able to meet bored housewives, get the latest security updates and info requests from banks where you dont even have an account etc..... Or is it just me who recieves about 5-10 of these emails per day! Though I have had my hotmail account for over 6 years and it can probably be found in hundereds of places over the net. Back on track, using a hotmail as a sign of annonymity could be seen as a show of mistrust amongst the site. Though one of the main issues with asking some questions related to individual or companies is that you should not refer to the person or company by name. Bit hard when you leave it at the top of every post you make. In some cases therefore it could be very benificial if not essential not to use your works email for unbiased info.
