I have just attempted to set up and email account. I didn't and for two reasons. Firstly, I want to use a password of my choosing, not be told rudely that my chosen password is too weak. Secondly, I will not give you, or anyone else, my mobile phone number, I have no desire to be constantly bothered with junk calls and junk messages from Yahoo or any of your 'carefully selected' partners, if any. By the way, the email address you demand is old and inactive, and I have given it to you because you demand it.
