Well, I disagree. 
I have no clue. 
I am not an ISP
I do, however, have enable.
We do buy transit
There are lots of folks that have replied to this thread. A number of them have a lot of "clue". Some, like me, don't. 
If this list didn't have such lively discussions I would not have the education about how the "Internet" works that 
this list has given me. If only people with "clue" commented on things this would be a dull place indeed. Might just as 
well be a closed list.
For this, I thank all of you that have contributed.
