Thanks WYO, I know you meant this be funny, but you raise a good point...

What's the post threshold in order make your opinion matter on Bisonville? 6,000? 7,000? I don't make the cut either way... also, I'm not a member of your TOHBTC Country Club, and probably never will be, so looks like nothing I say matters.

Thanks, Bisonville, you're awesome.

I officially hate ESPN. What a bunch of ass clowns. Fuck ESPN. It is clear that they are about money and that's it. Sports is secondary. Nobody gives a flying fuck about those games. We're talking billionaires fighting with billionaires. I have this sudden urge to go out of my way fuck with espn3.

Why is nobody complaining about the Cable companies in Fargo who have chosen not to carry ESPN3??? They deserve just as much blame for not negotiating to carry this. Besides you would have much more influence on them than you will with ESPN.

Its been debated here and all over the country for at least a year or two (however long ESPN3 has been around) and the idea of charging, at the ISP level, for content is something NONE of us should support! If you want internet service to become just like cable in that you have to pay (name a price) for the service because you want to be able to get (name your website) because you can't get JUST your website but you have to buy yours and 35 others that you'll never go to, well then keep calling CableOne, Qwest/Centurylink, etc and put the pressure on them. Me, I've been calling my provider every day the past few weeks telling them to keep fighting ESPN, don't give in, don't pay the fees. If ESPN wins they won't be the last. I have no problem going to a website and then CHOOSING to pay for its content. I'm absolutly offended when I'm told I have to pay for access to the site if I ever plan to use it or not. (much like the fact that I have to pay 10 cents a month for Lifetime on DirectTV, give me my 10 cents and take that channel away but I don't get the choice, its there if I watch it or not)

Exactly, although it might be a little different back in the dial-up era when you actually had more options for "providers".
