There's a serious lack of empathy from some of the commenters here toward those of us affected by this move. We're not all professional domain holders who enjoy the labour of managing our own email. My own situation is a case in point. I bought the lifetime Fastmail member account as I assumed it would provide me with a lifetime contact point without having to deal with the hassle of registering and managing a personal domain. I have given that email address out 1000s of times over the years - there is no chance that I can just go and change all those points of contact now. So I'm being forced to pay this $30 a year for an email address that I was told was for life. The part that's particularly galling is that I only use my Fastmail address for forwarding on to whatever other email address I'm using at the time (currently Gmail), so I'm barely even using Fastmail's infrastructure - all they do is forward my mail on to me.
Comments telling me that I'm "entitled" will be ignored.
