It's not embarrassing to me Randy. I'm in my element and having a ball. I haven't heard this much screeching in months. Go girlfriend. Jack Rickard ----------

I want to measure the response of each ISP's marketing department. So I will send a certified letter to their office of record in Deleware, and report how long before I get the receipt back. Maybe I well do this for 30 letters to get better data. I'm with you to a point. But NONE of the measurements were taken from Jack's house.

So send the registered letters from 50 places. Same basic conceptual error. You are not measuring anything like what you claim.

But you seem not to want to hear this, so I will plonk this whole embarrassing (to you) thread. Bye now.
