Some people do pay to "give something away." That's because some people object to the under-handed tricks that some of these free web site hosts use in their advertising. Some people would see that as an "integrity issue." Besides, you can get a 300MB web site for $35 a year. That's not much compared to the amount of money many of us spend on Poser stuff. Those of us who object to these under-handed popups are not ungrateful. We just don't like to endure that crap in the name of "free stuff."
