What sounds like "fruitless bitching" to you will serve as useful

selecting service providers.

No.  The only way to offer a even remotly reliable view on whether or
not an ISP is good/bad is to see the good AND the bad.  I think I can
speak for the majority of the list when I say that making nanog into a
public bitch forum is the last thing we want.  Take your gripes elsewhere.

This is a *open* forum that people bring realities like these publicly.
You are entitled to speak for yourself, and if it sounds like what you
inferred, you are subscribing to the wrong list. Just do a
"unsubscribe".  One of the intent of this open list is to make aware of
realities of ISPs around, beyond the glare of the press and marketing.

Have you even taken the time to read the charter/aup for nanog?  The first
rule in the aup states that:

        Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical
        issues as described in the charter of NANOG.

Not whether or not you think Exodus sucks.

And using words like "fruitless bitching" does not make your opinion
more potent to anyone, unless they hold a lot of Exodus stock (: Do
you?. Try to refrain from unnecessary language.

Take it easy

This sort of fruitless bitching pretty much serves no useful purpose.
