But that's the thing... they weren't paying *me* for their
Internet access.  This was the bit that I had difficulty
explaining to them.  Apparently they believed that their
$20/month went into a big pool which funded everything from Yahoo
to Phoenyx.

(Which would actually be pretty cool, come to think of it, but
never mind...)

Well, of course.  The question is just when do they stop
deserving it... :}
