        Hahaha, that is good. That clown thinks he has something to do with the internet, when in fact he has nothing at all.

                      Well it's the same as the money you pay for your telephone service. It funds the businesses that maintain the systems on which the internet runs. What did you think, that the entire system runs on thin air?

                                So you know that the backbone of the internet is carrier pigeons, and the telephone exchange is stuffed full of the little darlin's. When you "post" a message it is transcribed, attached to a pigeon and sent to the exchange nearest the website. It's response returns the same way. SO what do you think pays for all the bird seed if it isn't the money you pay for the internet?

                                  What this message has to do with this forum? I kindly request you to have a close look on how the codeproject works and then only post the thread.But yes, please don't post such CHILDISH questions. This is similar to where the fuel goes after Aeroplane flies. Have a look here : How Internet Infrastructure Works[^]

                                    Where "is" money to begin with? Surely you're not talking about cash (which has an obvious location), you can't really use that on the internet. Maybe you could say that money "is in the bank", but the bank doesn't have cash lying around to represent the value of your bank account. It's just a number. So does money even exist at all? And if not, does the question where it goes to even make sense? Also, your money is sent through big tubes (the internets!) straight into the vaults of rich people.

                                        You don't pay money for the internet. It's still a free resource. You pay money for the telecommunications infrastructure, electricity, etc. If everyone stopped paying then the people employed either directly or indirectly will lose their jobs. I take it that you enjoy anarchy.

                                          If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                                          You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                                          Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein
