from the evidence at hand it seems that agis doesn't give a damn. to
those who remember the beginning of agislist at interstice.com it is clear
that then ( and I would presume so now) they had a technical staff made up
primarily of newbies. Why their technical depth should be any greater now
escapes me. I mean would *YOU* want 6 months to a year of employment at
agis on YOUR resume?
and if you are currently clueful would you wait more than a nanosecond
before rejecting an employment offer from them? It is just a damned shame
how many isps apparently didn't do their homework before signing up with agis.
I wonder how long they can last?
