Another point: John Grandy said it is unfair for the poor when the middle class people
use internet "free".

i never said this. you have hopelessly misunderstood what i am saying. you have twisted my words into the exact opposite of what i said.

what did i say? specifically: activities which have no demonstrated benefit to society and very well may be of detriment to society are more likely to be pursued if there is low or no cost involved. you have completely misunderstood my argument regarding who is sufferring an undue economic burden. i specifically said that non-internet using phone-customers and tax-payers were effectively subsidizing long-hours porno surfing. these people are likely to be less affluent that the average high-intensity internet user, who has an average income of $60k. who is long-hours porno surfing? i don't know. i bet all kinds of people are porno surfing. i can tell you from personal knowledge that one very young co-founder of an extremely successful internet company is a reknowned porno fiend.

please do not mis-cite my posts if you are not going to bother to make the effort to understand them.
