I disagree with your position completely Mike.  None of what is below
is what I would consider "bashing".  Instead, it is a straightforward

with a request that it be solved.  I consider it highly constructive.
It is absolutely ridiculous that there are providers that still flap
routes, especially one the size of PSI, for dialup customers.
