why am I being forced to do this ?

I don't have a second email, I won't give my cell phone number to just anyone and my land line is off as often as it's on.

It's my account, if I don't want this extra stuff why is it being stuck down my throat.

In all the years I've delt with hotmail I've never had a problem with security.

Now some new bozo's come into the picture and want to sell my contact info.

Forget it.

I'd rather change email suppliers than deal with this .
