ISPs sell customers a TCP/IP connection to the Internet. To me that means taking my IP datagrams and delivering them to where I address them. IUUNET sells connections to users that allows them to deliver packets? Only problem is so many places block more and more UUNET traffic every day. Eventually UUNET will have to do something about it's inability to transit anything except the backbones and it's a pretty lonely world out there on your own.
Yes, it certainly is lonely. You isolate yourselves, too. From purely that point of view, it is the smaller group that harmed the most by isolation. So, are you larger or smaller than UUnet? As I have pointed out numerous times previously, your tactics are fatally flawed and damage the cause more than help it. You're losing your battles, pretty much as I expected, for pretty much the reasons I explained previously. It's too bad. Some spam regulation would be a good thing, I think, but the radicals are making that impossible. --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean () av8 com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
