It's great when you can help the balance sheet by converting "ongoing support costs" and "loss of paying customers" into what economists call "externalities" (in other words, they make the decisions, but somebody else gets to actually pay for the choices made).
This is one of the threads where posting further will not be productive. Cox abuse has been named and shamed, and hopefully, the next post we see to the thread will be from them. As a reminder, political discussions, and discussions about spam filtering (other than operational, such as abuse@ or noc@emails) are off-topic for nanog. Please keep it this way. -alex [mlc chair]
