To: Dust in the Wind

Welcome to the Canteen Dust In The Wind!

My issue with AOL doing this is that it could be a Spammers Paradise. Also, I believe that it is also heading towards a direction for which we already get for free (such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc...) would in the future become a pay service. I don't like AOL to begin with, but this adds to the question about what they would stop at. A lot of people use their messenger services. What's to say they wouldn't begin charging for that service?

This could end up cutting off a lot of our Troops from their families. Unless they really believe it's a must.

I'm wondering how many people AOL feel would pay for this service? I'm talking about non-corporate users.

I guess I must have missed why someone would need to use one of those "free" services to begin with. I guess if you are using public access computers to send and receive e-mail that would necessitate having an account with somebody. I am not independently wealthy but I pay for my private use of my local ISP and the Addy's it gives me so really don't understand why someone would be opposed to paying for what they are using.

I'm not changing a stance here, just thinking this through on your time;^)

And thanks for the music links!
