Most of the people I've seen complaining about the buy out are the ones who use it for free and are now worried they might have to pay for a service. They were probably also the same ones who complained about eGroups being bought out by Yahoo a few years ago because they might have to pay! Or about pop up ads on their free internet sites!

Really, the internet isn't free. I've paid for various aspects of it that I use for years beyond just my ISP. Not everything is going to be free. That's why network TV has commercials.
