If the MS services were not crappy and as wonderful as you say, how do you account for so many people choosing to change the defaults? Even offers of money have failed to persuade. There was once a day when radios were manufactured that only tuned to a single station. Stations paid the manufacturer to lock out the other stations. People could use the radio to listen to that one station for free! Wow, what a deal. That practice was made illegal. For good reason. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
