I can see where your comming from, but you seem to think that they 
should provide you with something for free.  The dot bomb days are 
over.  If they want/need to charge a fee to make this all happen, they 
are well within their right.  It's called capitalism.  They have 
something we want, we pay them, they give it to us.  Right now, our 
"payment" is in the form of fillingout a survey. </soapbox>

I concur.

I think so, Brain, but where are we going to get latex gloves, a 
swimming pool filled with vaseline and a herd of yaks at THIS time of night?
