And I fully respect your opinion and decision to do so. I personally am
not supporting the service, I'm using it. exploiting it for my own
enjoyment.

Oh come Alex, if it wasn't for advertisements we would all have to pay
much higher inflated prices for many, many things. And probably for a
great many things we don't have to pay for now.

Take this countries terrestrial TV channels. We have to pay �121 TV
license just to own a TV. All of it, every last penny goes to the BBC
who don't advertise. None at all goes to the ITV who use 3 minutes
advertising every 15 minutes or so. Great if you need a wee or want to
put the kettle on.

Anyway, take a look here http://www.neurowerx.de/ Two adverts on the
opening page and a whole list of them on the links page advertising
other peoples web sites.

I don't like BMW's or Volvo's but there are plenty of insane people out
there who do and adverts play a big part in selling those cars :)

Just out of curiosity, have you tried gmail? I can find a dozen web
sites slagging of Windows the same, no, more than that gmail site but I
bet I couldn't stop you using Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2?

Best regards,    Tony.
