i guess free e-mail ids must be available only for some senior memebers like Arun, C urtz and even me

but then what should the criteria be... if its gonna be the no. of posts, then this could promote spamming... if its date of joining, then there might be people who are unactive who've joined in 2003... so the criteria must be fixed and even if this is done, i dont see this going too far further unless PG becomes paid..... But will PG continue to be what it is if it becomes paid?? i guess this is a discussion meant for another thread...
