Admittedly, there are contaminants in the water, but, I don't believe most of them are added in transit. (If I did, I'd be putting pressure on to get that fixed). If you're talking about fluoridation, I am fortunate enough to live in an area where they figured out that was a bad idea. This is like asking the phone company to prevent minors from hearing swear-words on telephone calls or prevent people from being able to make prank phone calls from pay-phones.more bad analogies... :) Why is this a bad analogy? Neither of these actions are currently prevented by the telcos. that said, if you don't want your ISP to diddle your packets, may i suggest IPSEC? Sometimes I use IPSEC, but, I don't want my ISP to diddle my packets whether they're tunneled or not. Fortunately, so far, I've been able to find ISPs that don't. Owen Attachment:
