    Could these names become valuable?

    Maybe one day.

    I suppose with the case of free ones like yahoo, gmail, etc they could argue they own the addresses and not you. :D

    But I'm impressed with how many you created though. I don't think I could even come up with that many usernames.

    I doubt that you had Yahoo accounts for 20years as in 1997 is when Yahoo mail was launched and before that it was rocket mail and rocket mail was only around for a short period.

    Good point, even Yahoo itself hasn't been around 20 years.

    I'm not so bothered about my gmail getting spam as I only treat it as an auxilliary email system and kind of a spam trap in itself. My main ones have always seemed to get spam (I also had them since the beta days, so I do realise and sympathise for you, not to mention extremely impressed you managed to keep it spam free for all that time).
    my son get's 100 a day....don't know why and now I have started getting them but only about 10 aweek at the mo...don't know why really...I think it was when I had gmail manager hooked up to firefox that's when it started really soon got rid of that...but none of my other's or his other's for that matter get any spam...:confused:strange:confused:I never get spam in any of my yahoo one's

    Not what I said.

    Go to a yahoo games site, and with a macro scroll the lobby with 10 lines fast.

    You will then see what I mean, you will have also lost the ID (banned for 20 years).

    20 years forward not backwards or you would not be banned.
