My point exactly. So many on the list seem ready to "hang-em high" then
maybe hold court. One complaint should not, and will not be grounds for my
company to totally suspend service. Just like my earlier post about a
company accusing me of allowing spamming, which it turns out was not me,
then way Dan and some others seem to be mindset on is, stop service, then
talk to the client. Glad I don't colo or have have clients on your boxes.
One misguided email and Bam, of line I go.
