Wow! That is especially hatefull. I guess they only want
a verifyable e-mail address. The problem with hotmail and
yahoo and such are that they can be prolific and not
policed very well.
I personally don't know what's going on with FBTB, but strange
things are afoot...

holidays. They suffered for a long time before getting the regular site back
up.

Actually the policy of [NOT] having Yahoo!, Hotmail, gmail, etc. as emails went
into effect a long, long time ago prior to their last hack attack that killed
the fourms.
I did not follow the entire discussion but part of the problem was non-lego
people posting all sort of "bad non kid" stuff on the fbtb fourms.
