Yeah, but that _is_ the whole point... the responsibility has to be 
_total_ and _just you alone_ carrying it all...no one else.

Well now _that_ alone can be one _helluva_ responsibility to pay the 
traffic and time bill at the end of every month. 

Some guys think nothing of $200/300 monthly and I'm certainly not 
surprised they are blase' about it if their mothers are shelling out 
every month!  Yikes! What a life some people have these days!  :-( 

And some people get Freebie Accounts at their place of employment or
education...bully for them...but, then when the leave they grizzle and 
snuffle saying they can't afford to continue with their Net access. 
Bleah! do you think that my handerchief becomes soaked with 
crocodile tears at the thought of their deprivation and sudden 
departure?

Where I live and sit I have to pay all my own ISP bills...$31 June; 
$34 July, and those are big numbers for me...less than $20 monthly 
would be my average bill. 

Bye,
