No, they really won't.  Even New.net has seen that the REAL way they
get to increase their numbers is through involuntary processes (ISP
partners, forced installation of the plug-in by third party software
makers (who permit it to be uninstalled alone, but still require that
you permit the installation of the plugin to install their product),
etc.  Voluntary user switching is just not something that any alt.root
can or should count on at all.
