Cory, I know you're not stopping BoingBoing. Long may you wave.

A couple of info points on the other stuff. Setting up a Hotmail account does, unfortunately, open you up to spam. Some spammers have found ways in to harvest email addresses from the Hotmail lists. It doesn't matter whether you look at the account or not. Also, I don't have a Hotmail account, but I get more spam right after I send something TO someone with a Hotmail account. I think this came up on the Risks Digest.

Excuse me for speaking in shorthand when I said "I genuinely don't expect any problem from Cory." I know you're not the administrator. But sign-ins still depend on the admin's goodwill. For the record, I don't expect much of a problem from QuickTopic either, for a number of reasons, some of which are technical.
