Not you personally steve!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone else getting sick of all the new noise on Si from all the one-month freebies.

Every thread I follow seems to be full of YAHOOS (pun fully intended) who have little to say, and seem more interested in antagonizing anyone they disagree with.

While some trial members are respectful and informative, many seem to be lurkers who have been just waiting for a piece of the action.

Get back to the Fool or Yahoo where you belong if you are too cheap to pony up the $125. This could be the best money you will spend. Come on its only one full service commission charge, and think what you get for that.

I reccommend that all paying members who feel thew same voice their displeasure to the Webmistress (sorry Jill).

If you really want to give away free trials, how about cutting off free viewership and then offering the ability to post for free for one month. Or possibly offer a SI lite for say $50 that allow you to lurk but not post

I intend to spam this to all the threads I lurk and post and encourage any who feel the same to copy and paste.

>>HP is also the company that once INSISTED that personal computers would NEVER make it as a
consumer product. Who's laughing now?!

HP is also the company that paid Woz' to design the original Apple motherboard and then gave it to him when he got laid off.

Wooo HaHa HaHa HaHaaa!
