Hi all,

sorry for the crossposting, but this is an urgent matter.

*In the name of all Hotmail users*

I demand an official explanation by Microsoft, explaining the current
access/speed problems with their Hotmail service and a deadline of when the
problems are going to be solved.

Background:
Hotmail has been very slow recently and often blocking out users.
E-mail is an essential service of the Internet and Microsoft has the ethical
responsability to keep the service running for its customers. If this can
(temporarily) not be accomplished, an official notification should be given.

Bah, if you rely on a Microsoft owned web based email gateway for your
email needs, you got problems buddy. You can't *demand* anything, you
ask microsoft nicely to please 'deploy some of their highly trained
technical staff to attend to this problem'.

Or you can stop using bastardised things like that and use SMTP properly.
