Don't be so sure you're not a paying customer.  I signed up for their trial 
several months ago and decided against it.  I cancelled; they charged my 
credit card anyway--like for 6 months of service.  I complained and they 
finally issued the credit.  But get this they just did it again, but this 
time for only 3 months of service!  I'll have to wait for the credit 
again.  Unbelievable!  I asked them to remove my credit card info from 
their system.  Does anyone have any experience like this?
