I don't like to complain that much (yeah right..), but anyway today I received an email from classmates.com saying congratulations Jeremy yada yada yada... you got 7 days of FREE trial, which means you can see all the information, pics, whatever of your classmates...
Anyway I thought how cool, and rushed over to their website, only to find out that I have to give them my credit card number...
I'm like WTF?! if it's a free trial then why the ferck you need my credit card #...?!
offcourse they say that if you cancel membership before the trial expires then you don't get charged, but I assume many people forget it, at least until they get the first bill, by that time it's too late. arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
Needless to say I gave up this attractive offer.

You're a bonehead. Read the fine print. It's a free trial because it IS a free trial. At the end of the free trial, your card gets charged unless you cancel before then. ****** man it's like preschool is too complicated for some people around here.

djeezus man, wtf?! Aren't you tired of being a little 'tard?
In case you didn't get it (and I agree, for some people around here, preschool IS too complicated), I was complaining about the need to use my credit card when the trial is FREE!
I hope that spelled it out for you, otherwise you're gonna have to keep seeking help elsewhere.

This is how free trials work.
