First of all, 1290 Central Parkway is the "Aspen" townhouse complex on 
the southwest corner of Burnamthorpe and Central Parkway, directly 
across the street from the Valleys Senior Public. Hardly what I would 
expect as a head office for a "National" ISP. Secondly, The registrant 
is using a rogers.com email address. He doesn't even use his own domain 
for email? Thirdly, his website looks like it was put together by 
someone more comfortable with crayons than with a computer. Sounds like 
a winner to me. ;)
