[1] Where can I apply to get back some of the $100 they spent winning
this account ;-)?

[2] What evidence do you have that they will collapse like a house of
cards in a week due to huge loss in subscriber numbers? More likely many
people will drag out the credit cards or checkbooks and become
subscribers. Remember the "huge loss of subscribers" which took place
when Juno placed de facto limits on Internet usage in order to clear out
the "heavy users?" That purge sure hurt Juno ;-). 

Of course, the least able financially will be stranded, but the majority
likely will not jump the ship for foreign ISP and email waters, when a
$10 fee is requested (perhaps a special offer of $7 for the first three
months for "you lucky loyal subscribers" <barf>).
