- Did they give any reason for this? I can imagine a couple, but they are
- just guesses:
-
- 1) they want a filter -- people have to spend money to have
- compuserve accounts.
-
- 2) they have been criticiased for "exploiting" the net for
- commercial advantage.
-
- 3) they don't consider the internet community important.
-
- 4) they want to spite their face, and so attack their nose with a
- meat cleaver.
-
- None of these reasons seem to make much sense.
