Same reason people stick with Gentoo after a stage one installation. ;) I have a theory about Gentoo that explains the rabid nature of Gentoo fans. I believe that people that radically defend Gentoo and it's stage one installation process are people that have fought through the process and gotten a system to work. After spending 2 days working at it, the last thing they want to do is admit that they are a total idiot for wasting 48 hours of their life getting their system to a login prompt, so in a classic case of denial, they become raging defenders of the cause. If they convince themselves, and others that Gentoo is the best thing since sliced bread, they feel better about themselves. Now, with crappy VoIP providers it may be that they just do not want to let go of the dream. Or, they just want to recover the value of the money they have deposited with that company. ;) P.S. I have no experience with Livevoip or their service, so I have no idea if it is crappy or not. However, pretty any much VoIP service delivered over the public, non-QOS controlled Internet is going to have it's share of problems at some point in time. -- Vice President of N2Net, a New Age Consulting Service, Inc.
