Uh, excuse me, but I don't have any affiliation with MCS nor do they have
anything to do with this service. If you want to do nothing other than
piss them off or get thrown in their admin's "ignore this kook" list, go
ahead.
Affiliation? You get service from them. That's enough if you are sourcing
this through that link. If you don't use this link for your news feed,
then complaints ought to be dismissed. Properly so. I've got no bones about
a truely personal link.
Who I buy my *personal* service from is none of your business. Nor your
concern, since that *personal* service obviously can't be the source of
this.
Ok, Fine. your MCS service is personal. We'll be able to find out who is
providing your commercial service once you get going.
Besides, I've already told the world that I intend to colocate the servers
at various points around the country, and that I have offers from people
to do that - who are WELL AWARE of what I'm up to.
"Well Aware" is not the same as "Good Judgement". I'm sure a lot of people
will be complaining to them soon enough. Hopefully, they are reading this
list or other lists, and are reconsidering their offers.
I think a lot of people hope you are reconsidering your plans to do this.
It's a nice idea, and your motivation is good. It just won't work in
practice. So, in my nicest and most appreciative tone, I would like to ask
you on behalf of myself and many people who are also appreciative of your
efforts and your motives to reconsider and abandon this plan.

That would be a cute trick, seeing as the link is an ISDN line.

Well, a traceroute will pretty conclusively prove things there.....

Maybe.

I'd be happy to abandon it if something that accomplishes the same job, or
substantially the same job, shows up before it goes online.
