The topic covering the spam email promoting the 'MSN to charge user fee' thread seems to have struck well on Google

If you go a search on Google for the phrase 'MSN to charge user fee', the BBC article listed in the original post of that thread comes up first, followed by this topic in second place

what are you talking about rancid??? and on this this topic, i wasn't aware that there WAS free internet left in the world. the US lost its a while back i think. or at least, they say they offer it free, like netzero, but they really offer A free bit like i think it was...10 hours a month or something, but then if you pay only such and such or la di da you get a lot more. well i'm very sorry for you all then. lol.

The ticks are from the SiteAdvisor plug in that I use. You'll see it mentioned in the bottom right of the image

Useful plug in to have, alerts you to any bad sites that you are visiting and overlays itself on Google results so you can see if they are bad before you go to them

no, go read the information on the site for accurate information, however I think it is a web spider that checks the sites, fills in forms and scans the downloads. When you register on Site Advisor you can report malicious content on sites as well

It has nothing to do with Google, it just knows how to scan over the results page that you get from Google and give a report on each of the links

Well, Msn said it was going to add user fees, but they never did.

Then some prick went and send and e-mail round saying 'MSN is adding a user fee, if you don't forward this you account will be locked' then it said 'If you don't believe me heres a story to prove it (Link to bbc here)' and it kinda went like that.
