taking money for an essential service and trying to make a profit, is PURE EVIL and goes against everything that I belive "the net" should be.Sure! Money, of course, is the root of all evil.
No, LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil, or so the quote goes. Basically envey, jelousy, coveting your neighbors YP-X...
NSI does a good job at what they do, and 50 bucks a year really isn't much to whine about.
I have no problem with paying them, when I choose to use them. The fact that they are the only game in town, by goverment fiat, is objectionable. Honestly, I like the idea of competing NIC's. Not exactly sure how to do it without just as much an arbitrary fiat as what I object to in the first place. The *idea* of the Alternic is excelent. Their execution is prosecutable.
Grow up Mr. Mathias. Profit is the only reason you have a job, food in your grocery store, and an Internet to complain about.
Couldn't agree more. Viva la almighty BUCK.
