Well I'll say that I got great help from Chris on the nanog list on more
than one occasion even when it wasn't a security issue he pointed me in the
proper location.

Turned out to not even be a UU problem but they helped beat up on a closer
transit provider anyway.

However the noc I called to start the process was just awful.  Litterally
told me "If you wanted help you should have bought servic from us".
Actually had me thinking for a while of just buying a ds0 or something from
them and giving it to my kids or something for a goof just so I could say
Yes, I'm a customer!

I don't know why people keep saying that.  I've spoken to UUnet many times
on security issues, sometimes as a customer, sometimes not, and every time
I've gotten exactly the response I wanted and support above and beyond
what
I needed.

Hell, I even got a lot of support when it was "my friend over here claims
to be under attack".

Am I lucky, or are others just repeating what they want to hear?
