But again, do Yahoo's competitors fair better? Possibly.

But again, do Yahoo’s competitors fair better?

Jeremy,

It's certainly not the best answer, but "free" has certain connotations. The first of which is <b>sadly,</b> "you get what you pay for." It would be fantastic if Yahoo offered some type of enhanced fraud protection. I'm guessing they might have even weighed this out as a business decision and decided that it wasn't worth pursuing on a free service. So...other than LOVE (ya Hippie bastard), I'd be curious to know what else is <i>free</i> that satisfies needs completely? My guess is the list is shorter than you think. BTW, if you're wondering who charged the life-size Homer Simpson replica to your PayPal account, I'll take the 5th. :) The other question is, what would Hotmail, Gmail or any other FREE email service be willing to do in a similar situation?
