>You've made my point. It may not incur a personal cost at the time of use, but it incurs a cost regardless.

You really think that made your point? Wow you are really really really trying to never let anyone use the word free aren't you? By your logic of ultra stretching- nothing whatsoever anywhere in the universe is free. We can ALWAYS put a cost on something.

So that means we should never use the word free?

My kid opens up a lemonade stand and puts "FREE LEMONADE!" on it. I bet you are going to go to her and talk about how it's not really free, because you had to use energy to walk up and get some. She went into her parents fridge and got some lemons and did all the work to squeeze them and make your drink.

You know what "free" means. But ok go ahead and pretend not to know.
