If you are like most people, you probably have one or two email accounts with Yahoo!, Windows Live and Google. I applaud these Internet powerhouses for giving us free email accounts, but does Yahoo!

The first thing I noticed when I logged in recently was this HUGE space taken up at the top by an ad banner after you sign in.
