Nicht mein Bier

Lycos Germany are spamming sending me an offer for a 30 day free trial of their Lycos Extra e-mail account. Should I want to keep all the goodies after the trial period, it would cost me less than a glass of beer a month:
Wenn Ihnen LycosExtra gefällt, können Sie natürlich auch LycosExtra-Mitglied werden: Das kostet Sie am Ende der 30-tägigen Probezeit gerade mal weniger als ein Glas Bier im Monat. Was haben Sie da schon zu verlieren?
I dunno about that. I already have an e-mail account with lots of more goodies, bells and whistles attatched and they are not asking me to pay the price of a beer still after good two years. So I guess, this spam offer is not my pint of bitter or nicht mein Bier, as it were.

[...] Lycos Germany versucht, einem finnischen Blogger ein Bier abzuluchsen. Dabei hätte ein kleiner Blick auf die Startseite genügt, um zu erkennen, dass dieses Unterfangen mehr als sinnlos ist. [...]

Absolutely, Christian. Unlike Lycos, I would agree to pay for a good pint of beer.

You could, of course, just pay without using whatever Lycos has to offer. But that probably wouldn’t get you the beer.

Andre, I am not using even the free Lycos account that I have. And I am certainly not going to pay for continuing not to use it.

Definitely, Bambi, but I would not pay for a LycosExtra account, no matter which country’s level of beer prices it is compared to. I doubt if I would agree to use it even if they payed me for doing so.
