    I was forced to take journalism in high school and was taught to put the most important information first. I have noticed, with the rise of Google Scanning of online new sources, if they source even has any information, it is now buried at the bottom in order to force readership. Ah, the ads. To be honest, I won't pay for content online, not because I won't pay but because I don't believe I can pay and be relieved of all ads. My commercial free Sirius subscription is full of ads.

          I wouldn't really know, when my subscription runs out I just buy a new car, it seems easier that way.

            I won't bore you with a long story but I did a favor for a family member and they latched onto my credit card and I had to turn in/tear up a credit card to get rid of them.

              Thank you! Once in a while I wonder if I should respond to the letters they send me, telling me to do the trial subscription thing. I always dump the letters in my "I'll get to it later" pile, but now I can just throw them away. Soren Madsen
