Re: Charter Communications, Time Warner Cable, and Bright House Merger

This day in age. I feel no sympathy for anyone who isn't using a gmail, microsoft, yahoo or others instead of Subscriber email addresses. My parents have had to switch 3 times in 4 years. That is a big deal when everything you do consists of your email address.

There is a downside too. I registered my own domain in 2000, have had the same email address in 15 years, and the amount of spam I now get is so enormous, I am considering changing address.

Now for me that's easy: Just create a new POP account on the same domain, and off you go.

I have had mine for 10 years, I created a spam pop account that i used to sign up for worthless stuff that has kept my main account pretty clean.
