Re: Glad I kicked there service to the curb

Nah. What people really get upset about is this growing trend towards businesses shifting to customers things that THEY (the businesses) should be doing as a matter of course. The only thing more annoying is the number of people who seem perfectly willing to accept paying more and more money for less and less service.

And I really resent paying for a service that then uses me as a captive audience to pelt me with ads.

We're SICK OF ADS. TOO MANY ADS! That's what its about, really, just too freakin' many ads EVERYWHERE.

You've got a good point. I'll drop Earthlink a note and tell them that if they are going to do something like this, it should be an 'opt in' type deal. Maybe even give a cheaper monthly rate for folks who choose to participate or whatever.

I just don't understand people getting angry and indignant over something so simple to fix. There are so many other things out there to get upset about.
