my private email account. So I will avoid them in the future because I
think that, as an ISP, they should know better. Of course, everyone can

schism...

I say this every time someone asks. This is a warning not a
recommendation...
SWBell DSL has *the worst* customer service in the history of mankind.
The only reason I keep them is I'm locked in at $40/month with no PPoE.

RMS is a who, not a what. Richard M. Stallman. You can check out
www.stallman.org . He likes butterflies. And
So, after all the arguing and mumbojumbo, I have a question, what is RMS
