Let's cut this thread short right here.  Since you and Randy clearly  
have different definitions of "ISPs that matter", can we not spend  
100 posts on what would be two people arguing different sides of

The sad part is you knew (or at least should have known, if you  
honestly believe your opinion os worth wasting over 10,000 people's  
time) what Randy meant.
