Well, it's more someone gathering up a bunch of free newspapers, cutting out all of the ads, then handing out the newspapers to anyone that wants them.
No one is saying you need to read all of the ads, but the ads are there and your eyes may stray to one while you're reading the paper, and that's what the advertisers are paying for -- the chance that you'll find their ad interesting enough to read it and ultimately purchase what they are selling.
Well, it's actually: someone gives you a template to put over the pages that lets you view the content with the ads blocked out. That's it. This has nothing to do with gathering or giving out newspapers.
Here's a hint: saying "Democrats are bad," is not equivalent to saying "Republicans are good."
In a 2 party system and a black or white lens filter it is. Gee, it's like the US political system is binary....

As opposed to what? Binary animals?

About that, can you please clarify? I say this because google returns the following on 'Daniel Phillips':

I wonder which one is states your IT qualifications.
May I suggest some ketchup to go with that foot?
Back on-topic: it is simple, really: Users that have IT needs, go through IT requesting services. IT staff are hired to take care of IT, they dictate how/what is used concerning IT. Users have no business running IT since neither their job nor their responsibility. That last one is the biggest factor.
Plaintiff's Attorney: "Sir, what are the chances of the drive automatically generating the exact sequence of bits required to form this email?"
Expert Witness: "Billions to one, certainly."
errmm, a quick run with numbers: 128 possible values for a single byte and lets say 1 KB messages, that would be 128^1024 possible combinations, wouldn't it? Which is WAY more than 'billions'. Not much of an expert that witness.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
