I received two replies, both from the same individual.  Because of the
nature of my summary, I won't mention any names.

First, the individual asked me if my ISP/colocator was one of a couple of
specific ones.  Then, he/she *told* me my ISP *is* one of those two specific
ones and that was the problem.

Duh-uh, I do know who my ISP is--and it is not (as I told this individual)
one of the named ones.

So, the issue remains unresolved.
