Then give it, without the editorial comments on how terrible Exodus
is.  We all know you're an unhappy customer, which leads me to ask
why you're still a customer.  Personally, I take my business somewhere
else when I'm unhappy with the service someone is providing.  Unless
of course you just like to whine.

As for the current situation, if *I* were an Exodus customer I sure as
hell wouldn't want them releasing information about me to some random
person that requests it.  You provide Exodus with a court order and I'm
sure they'll be happy to give you whatever information you want.  I
always thought that was standard practice for an ISP.  If your privacy
standards are less, I'll make sure not to do business with you.

Your next paragraph seems to indicate otherwise.
