Microsoft's decision to move MSN to a partial for-pay model reasonably extends the trend in which content and application providers seek financial legitimacy by countering the popular mid-1990s assertion that information ("content" is the more common term in 2002) "wants to be free." The precipitous decline in competition among Internet information and interaction hubs makes the for-pay business model more defensible than ever — the critical issue here.

Your discussion with SJ just gets funnier and funnier (the homosexual debate). I haven't laughed this much in a few weeks (since I showed you that guy that couldn't get Linux working).
Thanks.

Oh, and now you need 351 more posts. Keep talking to SJ and you should reach your goal in a few hours :-)

This is killer, though:

Who is the little idiot jerk? I already explained my posting reasons.
As for the topic of this thread, you've now spent at least 90% of your posts not talking about it. Why don't you take your own medicine and not post about things offtopic if it bothers you so much?
#46 By sodajerk (1259 Posts) at 10/14/2002 8:46:33 PM
Because I'm responding to claims that you make about me, idiot. It doesn't bother me, I just think it makes you look like an idiot. And you enjoy posting to watch a little number get a little higher--guess what 2068 is next, if you haven't posted it yet. I enjoy posting because I like telling idiots that they are idiots.

Yeah, the Linux guy that hated Linux, but needed a key to Windows, so they crossposted to a locksmith newsgroup.

I think Jagged was just messing with you guys since your postcount is so close. And since you passed him a few weeks ago.

glad you like it. didn't daz tell us that AW like sj because "He's a good poster and creates good discussion which we all want because it helps foster the community" (http://www.anetforums.com/posts.aspx?ThreadIndex=11726)
i guess we make a good duo. although, if it weren't for me desire for posts, i'd be rather annoyed at sj.
