"She" did nothing of the sort. She told someone she wanted her email available. They said, ok, we'll just host it ourselves. "Whatever, I want my daily suduko and make sure I stop getting those damn linked-in spams". "Ok boss". Seriously, how could anyone really believe she specc'd this out herself?

This is outrageous.
