Nope.  It's at Inflow (http://www.inflow.com/";.

I don't have a working site.  I never really claimed to.  I've got some
backend pages I refer people to as necessary, for example to print out,
sign and return our Terms of Service, contract forms, etc.

I'm happy to say I continue to learn on this and other lists I belong
to.  I've never described myelf as a guru, and I'm quick to apologize
when shown the error of my ways.

Which happens quite often actually, I'm nowhere near perfect and don't
ever claim to be.

They may in fact be very good, but they don't seem to describe their
network on their site, and they don't list their colocation prices.  If
they're better than Inflow, then maybe I should move to them.

The Inflow data centers are among the best, and they've got good
financing.  Both are important in today's climate.

You're welcome to colocate with me, as long as you can agree to our
terms of service.

I've always been happy to tell people about "my" data center, though all
I do is rent space there.

I don't "hate" anybody.  I respond to posts on lists.  If your next post
is a request for help, and I can help you, I do.  There are actually
good examples of that behavior through the list, but hey, I wouldn't
want to toot my own horn now, would I?

It sounds like you don't like your RaQ.  Frankly I'm sorry to hear that;
RaQs do a great job for a lot of people.

There was nothing in this post to offend me, except perhaps the
reference to my father, who passed away several years ago just after his
80th birthday; after all I was the one who brought up my father, and in
so doing, I encouraged your response.  For that I'm sorry.
