"browsers such as Yahoo" Yahoo is not a browser, it's an email provider among other things. Firefox is a browser. Some email providers actually reject certain mail because of overzealous spam controls that the end user has no control over. For example, I once had a problem when I tried to email people to return "lost and found" property. Some of the recipients couldn't receive the message (and potentially their property) simply because they were using Hotmail (the way they have it set up is in order to white-list my domain to ensure delivery, I would have to pay money to upgrade my hosting to a static IP which I'm simply not willing to do just because people can't use a reliable mail service - why should the little folk jump through all the hoops when the problem is not on their end?). The way I see it, if you don't like your mail service dropping important mail, then you should consider switching to a more reliable provider. After all, you did have a responsibility to choose a mail service that actually delivered email if you decided not to use the one provided by UCF. In that respect, their previous mail system worked fine. I happened to have my account set up so that UCF mail would be delivered to my domain instead, and that was fine also. Apparently some people don't know how to use email, so they think Windows Live is better. It's not necessarily "better". In the end though I personally don't care as long as I can check it with Thunderbird as that is what I use to manage all of my email. It happens to be set up so that I can send through my domain, and it works very well. I also have a complete backup on my own hard drive, which is where it should be. I like the privacy implications of that much better.

This is coming from a Political Science student in response to:"Maybe we should ALL just become business, engineering, and computer science majors. Then MAYBE the demand for philosophy, sociology, and the humanities will increase. eh?"Maybe don't go to a university that has such developed business, engineer, and computer science programs. Instead of checking out the dorms and the location, maybe the programs in place in the university and the attention they receive should have weighed in?

You live next to a growing university. I don't know what you are expecting from the people who read the CFF but sure as hell isn't going to be sympathy. You are our next door neighbors, that was your choice. It can also be your choice to move. If you have such issue with UCF growing then you probably should take up the moving option, because UCF sure isn't going anywhere. Go write letters else where, we could care less what you have to say.
