The note that was forwarded was simply unbelievable at this day and age. The Internet community has to pay a large price when a major provider has a policy of not aggregating routes and also not using statics for sole dialup customers. Such behavior should be made readily apparent to perspective customers, resellers, and referrals so that they might understand the technical capabilities and marketing tactics of a given provider. Sean is fighting the good fight to get people to do the right thing. That he does so with gorilla tactics at times is probably appropriate given in some cases the lack of response and in other cases completely inappropriate response from various providers and customers. As his customer I *very* much appreciate and encourage his efforts. -- Eliot Lear [lear@sgi.com]
