That's what 'they' said about AOL.##

Bad analogy tonyt. AOL never offered their service for free. It wasn't like they were giving it away like Yahoo and Geocities and suddenly started charging. Hence they never had the opportunity to lose business by going from a free service to a charged service the way Yahoo and Geocities will should they decide to charge for their service.

And should they decide to charge for Geocities home pages, I'll be more than happy to list all the other services providing it for free.
