Indeed he did.

-Hey, Orville got off the ground. You've crashed and burned.
-I'm an ex-IBMnet customer.
So am I. Tried them out for several months and finally
gave up on them in disgust--really.
- I preferred their Usenet service.
There exceptionally poor usenet feed, and the very
frequent downtimes on their very slow news servers
was the primary reason I gave up on them. I always
have multiple accounts to compare and contrast
newsfeeds--there's is very heavily censored on content
not spam (like they claim). Even for posts that did
manage to appear they expired so quickly that you'd
have to stay current every two days or so. I was
very surprised--I've always had a high opinion of
IBM and continue to do so in most other areas.
-Yes adjust those glasses, I preferred their Usenet service.
-It was the implementation of the use more than 100 hours
Actually I wish more ISPs would do that--offering unlimited
hours for 20 bucks a month isn't reasonable for most of
them and quality degrades. I'd much rather have a high
quality connection where they don't rip you off on
bandwidth and lie about being unlimited--that 100 hour
policy is to IBM's credit.
-and you pay heavily that
-caused me to leave.
And you've chosen yet another heavily filtered feed
so you probably won't even see this message as
it is critical of IBM and will be forged cancelled.
