I was going to say 1995, but the idea is the same.
Didn't we have this discussion 10 years ago? I think time has shown this idea to be false.

Probably going to get tagged as "Troll", but this tends to be the mentality in New York as well. Us here in the midwest (even Chicago, like me) are called "fly-over country" by the east and west coasts.
Not by everyone mind you, but you hear it quite a bit.

This is true about any major financial or business decision I would make.
Usually, when a publication is going to print a (largely) baseless attack, it also publishes comments from dissenters. I'm surprised ZDNet did try to interview *someone* that disagreed with Mundie's assertions.
You have to wonder about any company that sells you something with one click from an advertisement. On the other hand, it is almost ridiculous enough to make you think that these people bringing the lawsuit were just stupid.
If you are going to copy a legal document, though, make sure you take out the irrelevant, blatently false items:
"The original website had completely plagiarized the Earthlink terms of service, including the offer of a free version of Zone Alarm Pro for new customers (We called and confirmed that DSLMonster had no such agreement with ZoneLabs back when we originally questioned the website's validity)."
