*stage whisper* Should I tell them?

Hey guys, ever hear of a Freenet? Do you know what their monthly fees are?
That's right, $0 per month. Did the Freenets drive the ISP's out of business?
Uh, uh. Just trained lots of new customers for them.

won't take long for those masses to come clean, learn what the Internet 
REALLY can be, and switch to a real Internet Service Provider.
