An account drifter is an interesting person. The account drifter has given you his/her e-mail address and expects you to write then. Only to find out that they ditched the account that they had told you about and went for a diffrent provider. The account drifter has accounts on AOL, HOTMAIL, Yahoo! and even the lesser know originpoint.com.

They may mail you out of the blue and ask why you haven't spoken to them in a long time... The truth is that you do not know which service they are with that week.
