I have a single one. There's my geocities one, but that's a forwarding account that next to no one even knows about any more. I also used to have a hotmail account, but I ran fleeing for my very soul when one day I started getting over 100 spams a day. Now, it's just the yahoo account, and I really don't go there often (in other words, don't try to contact me via e-mail if you want a fast response, I go for 2 or so weeks between checking it's inbox), since I fear the spam I get now. I for one am VERY comfortable with my hair situation, don't find I need a 3rd mortgage on my home, and am pretty sure that sponge porn isn't my thing. It's not as bad as my hotmail account got when I finally ran away from it never looking back, but at my current check rate, I have around 300 e-mails to sift through every time I go in (I press the "check all for deletion" button and just uncheck anything that looks like it might actually matter, which sadly, is usually nothing at all, so I end up going in usually just to read a bunch of "from" taglines (here's a hint, if the "from" isn't a name but something like "saving you money", you just better delete it) and hitting delete.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
