My dear EFN family, let me say first that I am sorry.  My ears are bent
toward your own explanations and stories.

Secondly, I would like to state that I am admittedly an ignoramous when it
comes to what happened inside the organization of EFN (and also OPN).
To tell more properly, EFN always amazed and impressed me, and I am lucky to
have enjoyed some of their services and celebrating their model.
I first learned of EFN when I was living off the grid in the coastal range,
so please understand that I speak from beyond the keyboard, in that.
Poor excuse, I know.  I'd like to retract the notion that any zealousness
existed, nor that any similar sentiments had anything to do with our not
having EFN with us today.
A proper eulogy is not my own.  I spoke off the cuff, in a mood no less.
Out of order and off-topic.  Copy and paste bowing empathetic emoticons
here.

Additionally, please continue to try not to take what I wrote as a personal
attack, either.

Best regards, and highest regards for EFN's achievements.

<3 Ben

PS - Possibly redirect any remaining negativity to Comcast.  Corporate
charters should be revoked from time to time, I think this would be a good
time to set an example.   Along with the mega-banks, ma bell's zombie, and
say various large and controversial government contractors.  Different mood
here, hope this helps.  I'll try to be more mindful toward euglug and
others...
