OK, so I still believe "TANSTAAFL."  What's the catch?  Is it subsidized by ad
revenue?  Do they sell subscriber access demographics?  They "borrowing" idle
CPU cycles and disk space on my system?  (See also http://www.distributed.net
and MS/Office/FastFind. ;)  Sounds to me like they  must be loosing money on
every customer and trying to make it up in volume.  I can't seem to acquire the
needed "suspension of disbelief".
