Don't all network operators day-trade with their IPO money as long as
things aren't down or broken? :)

I forwarded it to our tech support people so they'd have a heads-up for
when people start calling in complaining that our service sucks because
they can't get to their day-trading account, and they're losing thousands

who can't keep a network working. If you don't have customers like that,
maybe I can send you a few.
