No. I have merely declined to extend you a privilege. if i were being sent a letter or a call and my post office/telephone company decided to reject them because they were overworked and needed to filter to reduce costs, i'd have a lot to say about that, as i'm sure would you. with that said, this is quite possibly off-topic to nanog. i'd second the request earlier in the thread to move it to somewhere more appropriate. paul --- paul galynin
