    I didn't use Digital Spy until about a year after I found it because it required ISP email address and I didn't have one at the time.
    A lot of people I know who use a computer don't have an ISP email address.

    But I thought everyone had an ISP add sra ...

    I couldn't get on DS until I provided it, but that was at least two years ago.

    Maybe things have changed? But, and this is obviously not me having a go at you, how do the spammers get in? They must be using web-based adds?

    Not everyone has their own computer.

    True moneysavers might access at the library.

    Some ISPs only give a limited amount of email addresses. I was with one that gave only 3 email addresses. Useless if a bigger family.

    My sister is also with AOL, but she likes all the games you can only play a limited amount of time (e.g. It used to be that with Who wants to be a Millionaire you got 3 goes per screen name per week) so she's registered all the "screen-names" (email addresses) to herself :p


    Personally I never check my ISP email account so there are probably dozens of notifications of replies and PMs from DS I've never received
