Beav,
   I agree with you but the thread of the conversation was that because
one did use or have a school email address they were not really
(possibility, conjecture, whatever) doing this as a school project. This
has been a major part of the conversation on this thread.
   What I was saying that during my time of working on my MIS degree I
did the same using this address because the school did not provide one.
Now I do understand for the students on campus paying their additional
fees they received one. Also, that as a privilege of being an alumni you
are provided one free.
