If you think rationally, why didn't we stay with Ebone? Warm, cosy, cooperative -- why would anybody break away voluntarily?

Expensive. --:) (Well, that's been the recent reason, though there are funding politics inolved in many cases of that too, I guess)

And, of course, if Ebone wants to be part of EUnet, we can probably work something out.

Wouldn't this mean changing your business model? :) :)

Your somewhat glorifying description of Ebone and the lumping of everybody else belies

Any implication of "guilt by association" was completely unintentional. Also, any implication that EUNET is somehow less than Ebone was also unintentional. As I said, EUNET is cool. :)

I didn't exactly imply that (it could be a hot discussion topic, though),

That can be the second or third round of beer. :-) Sean.
