Cheryl,

OK, so I have never had and never will have a use for anything 
that company has to offer. The biggest and most compelling reason 
is because of their marketing tactics. The only way that they 
could have possibly sent email to a particular email address that 
I have is that they got it from a PRIVATE, note the caps, beta 
list that I am on. PRIVATE means private and for them to have 
gotten my email address they had to be on this list as well. This 
goes against the rules of the list and is quite rude. I would not 
expect spam from a PRIVATE beta list and I should never have 
received any, yet I did. This is only one of the reasons that I 
will never use them.

Oh, and if you don't think that they are tracking your surfing 
habits, look up the definition of a proxy. As soon as you log 
onto their service you are logging onto a proxy. This means that 
they can dictate where you go and also track your movements. Matt 
may claim that they are not doing any tracking, but from past 
experience with others in the company I have no doubt that it is 
being done, whether he knows about it or not.

Just my two cents.
