>The internet will not fulfill its promise without it.

The internet is already "fulfilling its promise" - both from
a user perspective (it is helpful/fun) and from a financial
perspective (lots of dollars made so far). I, and many
others I know, don't even LOOK at the annoying ads filling
little areas of my browser window. I have been an avid
Internet user since Gopher, which came before Mosaic (the
first browser I used). In all that time, I've never clicked
an ad, and probably never will.

I have the @Home service, but never
even bring up their "Browser-like" app (the one w/ their content)
- I just bring up Netscape w/ "my.yahoo" as the homepage, just
like I did before I had @Home. I want fast access to the
"Regular Unfiltered" Internet, not some bundled content with
ads. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who agrees w/ Ahhaha
on this one - internet ads will be ignored by many... I'm not
investing any money in any company whose plans include making
a profit off internet ads...
