Jayson, Really, I guess it doesnt matter. It's just that your offerings are so remarkable, its hard to believe its true. Most people are on this list to be helpful and to get helped. It would be helpful to know who you are, your business model, and how you do it. My first question would be, how much are you paying for bandwidth?
