I see your point and it is of course valid. Although it is a risk then, many a time I've been able to garner special treatment by proving myself to be more of a benefit than a cost. In the case of my ISP at one point, I'd given them so much useful information and help that they specifically allowed all traffic to me regardless of any other measures they took, and I had the cellular number of the head of tech support. Kinda nice. Extending a helping hand can get it chopped off sometimes, but other days it can be very positive. Your call each time on which is more likely. -- Rodolfo J.
