You really shouldn't. No more than for Safeway which won't buy your homegrown tomatoes. For them, those tomatoes simply do not worth the effort -- evern if you give them for free. That's a business decision. It's like everywhere. I see no point in whining about it. I tried to explain reasoning behind those decisions -- not that i have any sympathy for big business or any stake in large ISPs. --vadim
