First of all, I'm not the one that is whining about false advertising. 
You have me confused with someone else. I challenge you to find any post 
made by me that details where I complained about the $50 fee was false 
advertising. My posts deal directly with unethical behaviour of the 
provider in question and not with the actual contents of the message.

Second, I don't feel that the public spamming of a FreeNet is ethical, 
and unlike other wimps, I'm willing to stand behind my beliefs. I will 
not be pushed around by lawyers and large corporations. Sorry, but I 
don't take well to threats of legal action.

Thirdly, I'm doing this on my own accord, for my own reasons. If you 
don't feel that you would like to take part, then fine. This is, in all 
effects, a public opinion poll, of which I have every legal right to do. 
You have stated your perspective on this, and this is great. I'd say that 
the 51 new mail messages in my box will probably NOT agree with you, but 
you have your right to your opinion.
