Not-So-Hot-Mail

Dear Hotmail,

I have one of your free email accounts.

I'm not proud of this but I thought it was necessary to get an MSN Messenger alias when I first signed up for that. I've since discovered that you can sign up for Passport with any old email address.

I also have a Yahoo account, which I use quite a lot. You could say it's my primary personal account.

A while back, those lovely people at Yahoo upgraded my service and I now get 100MB of storage space instead of the 6MB I used to get. This was great as it was often filling up and now just seems to sit at a nice steady 4% full (or 96% empty, depending on how you look at it I guess).

This was shortly followed by a veritable flurry of emails from you guys, claiming that you would be upgrading soon too and that I would be entitled to 250MB of storage space and all sorts of other goodies.

I read, I digested, I understood and I stored away the information. However, I have received this same email on an almost weekly basis since then.

This morning, you had the brazen cheek to email me and tell me I was running out of space!

a) All the space is taken up by your emails telling me I'm imminently about to get loads more space
b) The promised new space has not materialised, if it had...well...I think even you can work that out for yourself

Yours faithfully
