Don't make fun of me, but I actually sent a check for the ten dollars
they were asking for the service.  I thought I was getting a break
off the ~$70 price.  I got a break alright.  I got nothing, nada!

I'm still trying to get what I signed up for about two years ago.  

I'd say, wait until they fulfill the free orders they offered to internet
users.  We'll know when they are ready to provide services when we
hear from our Usenet ears that they are in fact delivering.
