That's how I feel....

Yes, I am coming to the conclusion that free is not always better. SI vs. YAHOO, or EBAY vs. YAHOO, for example.

Don't get me wrong, I love YHOO the stock and company, but in these two instances, believe that YHOO's competitors far outdistance them.

For example, yahoo message boards are free, but if they are mostly worthless, who cares? Of course we know that SI boards contain a lot of junk. However, if one only has to wade through to 30% of the postings on the best SI threads to get to the meat, vs. 98% of such postings on the yahoo threads (my experience only) then what would most thinking people choose?
