No, they do both because they have to. I guarantee you if they could make all their money and charge $4.95 a month, they'd do it to get a huge market share. And even if they do both but don't have to, what's wrong with that? They're a business, and do so to make money. They lock out unauthorized AIM-clone clients because that service is free, subsidized with ads, and they don't want someone else using their network for free. -- jesus X [ Booze-fueled paragon of pointless cruelty and wanton sadism. ] email [ jesusx @ who.net ] web [ http://www.mozillanews.org ] tag [ The Universe: It's everywhere you want to be. ] warning [ "I hate cats.
