    I really hope so. Too bad about the innocents that will be taken down with them, but that's the price you pay.

    It means fewer coons and slopeheads will be online.

      How do the coons use a mouse without opposable thumbs? They are clever vermin, no? But still this thumb thing has got me.

    Trolls? Is that what you're calling Windows users now?

    What will happen to my high-speed cable Internet service if AT&T Broadband's proposal to purchase the Excite@Home network is not approved?

    If the proposal to purchase the Excite@Home network is not approved, your home page content may be temporarily unavailable, but you will still have access to your e-mail and the Internet.

    Oh no, I could lose the useless homepage I never visit. Terror!

    I don't know about the other trolls, but so long as clueless people such as yourself post garbage with so many obvious spelling mistakes, I won't be going away.

    The alternative is for you to fuck off I guess.

    and what the fuck kind of "real connection" can I get for $150 a month? Loop line for my house would cost a bit over $500/month, plus the bandwidth, so even a very small fractional T1 would cost me $1k/mo. Fuck that shit, $1k/mo is a car payment.

    As far as people getting screwed, how about I add to every mailing list on the planet, and see how well you deal when your email is effectively destroyed.

    Letters != email.

    You're a fucking retard.
