Which is to show you what can happen to those that entrust control of their communications to a third party. The commercialization of the lil' MAPS charity proves beyond a reasonable doubt that it was just another clever ploy for them to make a living at it.
That's right! I think it's just evil that they might want to cover their costs and maybe be able to eat, drink, and pay their rent. All the necessities of life should be provided by the state after all!
Until recently, MAPS was financed by Metromedia Fiber Network /Abovenet, in "mi casa su casa" fashion, aka run by their employees. Unfortunately for them, MFNX dropped to penny stock status (literally), and the fat seems to have been trimmed.
Whatever. If you find the service valuable, then you'll pay for it, if you don't, then don't use it and go away.
Valuable? Hehe. FYI, NetSide is on the MAPS RSS blackhole list: http://www.dotcomeon.com A detailed account of our "crimes"... --Mitch NetSide
