What if they just don't want people storing the content of their email 
and are competent enough to manage their own server?  Or what if they 
have their own domain but it is virtually hosted within a larger 
service provider?

Your browser can't do a search within the page and highlight what

So because the rest of the "new netizen order" are mentally defective, 
everyone else must retard themselves to fit in with the sheeple?

Aren't you that tmblahblah at aol.com that keeps harassing people then 
gets kicked off the list, only to show up again as a slightly altered

too easy to block you.
