Yes, I've had the same reaction several times. Makes me wonder if the people saying it's OK to skim run/work for free hosting companies
And the answer "well, what do you expect, it's free" doesn't cut any ice with me. Last time I looked, there was more than one free hosting company - in fact, there are hundreds. And some clearly don't feel the need to skim. Others, well... the temptation may have proven too strong.
Of course, there is ALWAYS the option to pay for hosting - that's not under debate here. Seems some people are desperately keen to sidetrack the debate down a dozen blind alleys.
Anyway, if anyone is still following this debate and actually wants to H-E-L-P then please read my first post and get some URLs up so that they can be tested!
