I'm mad at Earthlink from the day they took over MindSpring, an other Atlanta-based Cie.
I used to have many websites hosted with MindSpring, clever people, good service. I had to remove them one after the other.

Some might call it cynicism... I call it experience.

And you have truckloads of it.

I was waiting for your response Chetf.

It will be interesting to see if Earthlink makes any changes to the current definitions and if so what they are. I bet Webroot isn't too happy on this one either.

The Stupidity of those Religious fanatics over at EarthLink. Their dial-up ISP service with a few BHO's having links on their portal pages sucks for speed and services. Maybe their DSL service is better for a client. Now with purchasing Aluria's questionable Adwhore operation I'll be pushing them on ComCast or SBC DSL.

I thought of another ad earthlink can use.

"Earthlink, now protected by Aluria. It wasn't good enough for AOL, but hey, its good enough for you."

Wasn't this the company that did the "partnership" with WhenU?
