[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3060654, member: 13624"] Very good; you can cut-and-paste. Now, try for comprehension, particularly of the word in [COLOR=#ff0000]red[/COLOR]. From dictionary.com: exclusive adjective 1. not admitting of something else; incompatible: mutually exclusive plans of action. 2. omitting from consideration or account (often followed by of): a profit of ten percent, exclusive of taxes. 3. limited to the object or objects designated: exclusive attention to business. 4. shutting out all others from a part or share: an exclusive right to film the novel. 5. fashionable; stylish: to patronize only the most exclusive clothing designers. 6. charging comparatively high prices; expensive: exclusive shops. 7. noting that in which no others have a share: exclusive information. Note how the words "no others," "shutting out all others," and similar come up. I've already demonstrated that others exist; if you need more examples (including independent reviews!), this may help: [URL]http://bfy.tw/FTF4[/URL] You obviously missed the meaning of the metaphor; let's try using the Latin terms instead: hosting [I]libre[/I] vs. hosting [I]gratis[/I]. Free to do what you want vs. free of charge. The "net neutrality" argument doesn't apply here; net neutrality refers to [I]carrying[/I] data, not [I]hosting[/I] it. It applies to Cox/AT&T/Level 3 Communications/backbone providers/etc. Nobody is proposing to block or drop packets based on your viewpoints; a [I]hosting[/I] provider is saying "we don't want to run this under our name."
