Wayn Sucks!!!

So why does Wayn suck? Well, besides the obvious reasons that become apparent the minute you enter the site every user has probably met the following limitation:

From the Wayn's Privacy Policy:
Email addresses. We do not directly make your email address available to anyone on any screen of the WAYN Service. The only legitimate way of making contact with a person found on the WAYN Service is for a Full Member to enter a message which we will send on the Member’s behalf. ...

What begins as protection of privacy comes out as a really dirty kind of monopole. Ways simply doesn't want its users to switch to other means of communication. Now combine this with limitation of only two messages per day and you get hell. It is not illegal and they have every right to do it, I know ... but it is just mean.

Of course there is a question: will I still use Wayn ... sadly probably yes. It is still a way of meeting interesting people from other countries. Will I ever pay for their services? Hell no. I will just rant about it.

There, I've let it out ... now back to study ...
