Gordon, I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your note, but you seemed to be trying to suggest exactly that. In one breath you excuse yourself from pointing one finger in hopes that people don't notice the other arm wildly gesturing the other way. Its quite disengenous to state otherwise. It wasn't appropriate for you to do this to Sprint and it wouldn't be appropriate to do this to anyone else, either. I consider this list a place for ISPs to discuss general policy and planning issues that effect all of us. It is a very inappropriate place to discuss problems with a specific provider. If you have a problem with a specific provider, whether it be Sprint, or ANS, or MCI, or podunk-ISP, it would seem to me that it would be most appropriate to be talking to them directly rather than shouting to the wind. As to the rest, this is a competitive market with lots of fine service providers both national, regional, and local with more coming on board all the time. Some problems we will all face and other problems will be provider specific. This list has always been appropriate and useful to discuss the first, lets stick with it. -scott (huddle@mci.net) Gordon Cook <gcook@tigger.jvnc.net> writes
Scott asks:
So this is to imply that you do have a problem w/ Sprint and that you are picking on them in a specific way?
COOK: your suggestion scott not mine.......
