Depends, I suppose. $42.95/year for 100 MB/day is a bit
pricey compared to Teranews' $1.66/year, but then Teranews
has been a little screwy on occasion.
At least I won't have to worry overly much about going
over quota. I only use 10 MB/day generally anyway.

Yeah, well, what is trolling really? Cast one's bait,
hope someone bites. Of course, there's good bait and
there's rancid, dripping, putrescent red meat which
everyone can't resist for some reason (if only to shut up
the caster thereof).
I hope I drop the good stuff. ;-)
