 The host of this list has
 indicated this discussion
 is off-topic. Unless a less
 anal-retentive interpretation
 of "technical and engineering"
 is encouraged I'd say the 
 following article by Nathan
 Stratton is probably to be
 regarded as "off-topic".

Nathan raves:
> Are you on a C64, or do you just like 40 char on a line? Why don't
> you do us all a favor and upgrade. It will not bother me anymore
> because you made it to MY blackhole list in procmail.

> I still do not understand how you can say that as a ISP I dont

> They can always get a new provider. If your website is associated
