On a whim, I finally gave into one of those dozens of classmates.com
spams
you get every week because it said I had a personal message from a
classmate. Sure enough, it was indeed from an old friend that I
hadn't
heard from since 2002, but classmates.com won't let me look at it
unless
I
fork-over at least $15 for a three month membership.

I went back to my old e-mail folders and located our last contact
and
tried
it, but the account no longer existed. Are there any rsfckers in
here
who
happen to have a subscription that might could access the e-mail for
me,
or
contact my friend somehow to let him know my current e-mail addy?

Is contacting your old friend worth $15 to you? If so, then use the
service provided, without which you'd be (apparently) unable to reach
this old friend. If not, then don't. What's the dilemma here?


What he is talking about borders on blackmail and extortion.

Oh, for God's sake. You can't be serious with this nonsense.


" I KNOW WHERE YOUR FRIEND IS, PAY ME!!! "
uh, yah.

Would you know to contact said friend without their service?

Honestly, John, the attitude of justifying theft basically because you
really really want what you think is being withheld from you behind the
"extortion" of a business model of presenting you with something you
want and then offering to sell it... is really childish.

If what they're offering is worth the money, pay them. If it's not,
don't.... but for God's sake, don't try to justify stealing it.

Do you think it doesn't cost them anything to operate their site?
