Uh, excuse me, but I don't have any affiliation with MCS nor do they have
anything to do with this service.  If you want to do nothing other than 
piss them off or get thrown in their admin's "ignore this kook" list, go
ahead.

Who I buy my *personal* service from is none of your business. Nor your
concern, since that *personal* service obviously can't be the source of
this.

Besides, I've already told the world that I intend to colocate the servers
at various points around the country, and that I have offers from people
to do that - who are WELL AWARE of what I'm up to.

up now on trying to associate my words with any particular organization.
