	Hello Charles & All ,  Love all of you that want to filter ,
	Please do I would bo one of those that you'd filter .  I've been
	running my little home netowrk for ~8 years using dialup ,  isdn ,
	adsl , cable .  Never could get any employer to fork over better
	than that .  It brings to mind something Randy said ,(something
	like) I highly recommend that my compititon ...
	That way people (ie: customers who know better) will find a
	non/inteligent-filering provider .  Please THINK before doing .
