Why the sudden change of heart? You have not been repsonsible to the "community"
for some quite some time now.
The fundamental point you just dont understand is that the community
DOESNT NEED your connectivity. They can buy it off the shelf from several
providers, you just won't let them.
There's more bandwidth available commercially that your failed experiment
(Hell, its only been T3 for less than a month, yet you never complained.
That's reckless.)
You has been reckless and irresponsible to continue to shovel money
into ANS with such a severe, consistant failure to deliver the T3 service
promised and which you continued to brad about as if it existed.
Face it Steve, you can't give up your empire. All the rest is
petty rationalizion.
