Actually they are the "good guys" ...  They're the ones who answer
questions that dozeusers never ask, they're the ones who were nice
enough to park my son's domain on their server for free and link it to
his e-mail account on my internet account, they're the ones that are
allowing me to run my new domain from my "personal website space" rather
than charging me $30 a month to host it ...

They're the ones I recommended to City Council when the city first
started thinking of providing internet service along with cable tv.

But as they grow, more and more stuff needs to be automated if the
prices are going to stay down and they're going to be able to service
the loans to buy all the servers, etc.  If they have to pay staff to do
what *can* be done on an https site without human intervention, if they
are going to be protected from knowing everyone's password -- which
makes them rather vulnerable if anything goes wrong anywhere -- they
need to switch over to the software that's available for private
internet account management.

I don't blame them -- far from it!  It's just that being unable to use
httpS sites, and not having dozeware installed so I could use some
browser besides Arachne, leaves me in a bad position.
