Not too long ago... You can negate any nebulous dealer "add-ons" from the sales price with a little research - but you can't do that with your broadband provider. (Not singling-out anybody, 'cause they all do it.)

"Just add it up and tell me what it costs" v. sticking me after-the-fact with greater profit margin additional surcharges... (And I agree with you about all the "fine print" that flies by at ms speed in television advertising.)

Today is the last day of the middle of the end of the beginning. It is also the first.

You're not kidding. When ever you see "Documentation Fee"... "Paperwork Research Fee" "Titling Fee".... "Licensing Fee" etc etc

What you're really seeing is "Extra profit we are just tacking on at will."
