Bots are friends?

Hmmm. The only 'bots' that I know some recognize as friends are found on IRC. Otherwise, being a person that hates shopping, no thank you. It is good they've provided a way to remove said bots...but I question just how many grannies and granpas out there have the where-with-all to understand what it is and then remove it? A lot of the population is simply clueless when it comes to the machines they've got at home.

After Yahoo's latest debacle of forcing THEIR toolbar on me...bye-bye Yahoo. I'll stay with my Hotmail, who to date isn't shoving too much at me and my own private domain and email system for the really important and fast uncluttered email and IM experience that I expect.

Advertisers' have gotten out of hand.
