I purchased the high-speed internet service a year ago when I began my personal blog and needed, I repeat NEEDED, to scream at the world to listen to me. Last month I concluded my postings, possibly for the summer, possibly forever, largely because I don't want to waste the few good months of weather we have in wisconsin by being tethered to a machine. More importantly I was able to cancel the service because I just don't need it anymore, I've said what I need to say. While I continue to consume super-human quantities of coca-cola, I have not missed my home internet service at all; I think some addictions are entirely situational, and can be sucessfully dismissed when they no longer serve a useful purpose.
