    All,

    I find it a very infuriating to look at the internet ads that place Diploma Mill Degrees right next to Regionally Accredited colleges and DETC accredited colleges. The unsuspecting web surfer looking to find a real college degree online would have a very hard time disseminating between the real college program and a diploma mill. Is it possible that Yahoo, MSN and etc. are totally unaware that some of these schools are nothing but fronts for duping people? Besides ranting I guess my question is, do you think the advertisers of Diploma Mills should be held liable for fraudulent schools? Thanks for listening to my rant.

    Do you think they (Yahoo, MSN, etc.) care? Money in from advertising is money in their pockets. Ethics seem to be irrelevant when advertising dollars are concerned.:(
