David,
     Everything costs something. I don't use the word 'ever' very often=20
but this is one of those times. You may feel like it is free but it=20
isn't. What the companies have to pay to be listed is passed on to the=20
consumer in the cost of the goods that you buy. There is no such thing=20
as a free lunch. Stop and think about where the money to pay for the=20
electricity, servers, taxes, insurance, payroll, etc, etc, etc comes=20
from to keep google, yahoo, and all of the so called free places running.
Thanks,
rich!
