This thread weirds me out because not paying a domain has the effect of first receiving alerts and then not receiving mails anymore. People who manage to miss both probably didn't need the address in the first place.

I didn't "fail to understand" anyone's (yours included) comments.

Adults take responsibility for their lives. They pay their bills and do the things they say they're going to do.

To anyone who whinges "ooh, what if I forget to pay my bills. It would be so sad. But I shouldn't be held responsible."

Please.

Maybe that flies with mommy and daddy, but to anyone else it comes across as immaturity.

To those folks I say, "Grow up and pay your bills. What? Are you 12?"

If you can't or won't, that's your fault.

Is that a good enough explanation for you?

Please keep it professional.
