No,.. free competition, as in using competitors free products which are free cause that's the only way they can get people to use them cause big monoliths have such a strong hold on the market... as in everyone should use some form of free email as long as it's reliable (which it seems to be) cause if people don't show interest and support cause it's free, they'll assume we wan't to be charged for it... See, you won't be able to charge for things on the internet at some point, cause there'll always be someone else who's willing to offer it for free.. you try and sell email, and someone offers it for free... you try and sell financial info.. and someone offers it for free.. you try and sell XXX and someone offers it for free.. So there's gonna be some new paradigm for WHY and HOW money is generated from the internet (and if you figure that one up, you got it made) cause right now this rubbish about everyone getting revenue from advertising is bullsh*t.. Consumers don't care, and besides, advertising money isn't forceful enough to power a sector like the internet, not even close, but neither is giving everything away for Free, that's even worse, even though its best for the consumer's choice, which is why it will last... anyway, it basically just comes down to the fact that goddamn it, I like a free lunch. <ggg> Didn't realize this was so long and so off topic. Maybe if you want you should write back private.. CW
