I'm not surprised that hotmail is doing that, it's happening all over the place.When you sign up for anything "free" there is always a hidden cost at some point or another. I never put any info of consequence in any "sign up" freebie, so all they'll get is a general demographic
I have the security settings set to "exclusive" on a few of my hotmail accounts and only see a minute amount of spam,other then microsoft's own.
My other accounts aren't set as high,and i get a fair amount of traffic in those,but hey,it's a small price to pay for an email addy that isn't your main address. :)
