This bit makes me laugh...have I ever denied the fact that I am providing
virtual services? Have you ever gotten your little head out of your rectum
for long enough to learn what this part of the Industry is about. Have you
ever gotten your little head out of your rectum for long enough to learn
anything...? This 'other company' you refer to have now ceased and sold out
their retail arm and are now a truly wholesale provider concentrating their
efforts on maintaining the best network possible. By all accounts, and the
feedback we receive online and offline, this is exactly what they are doing.
Whilst us 'virtual' ISP's can concentrate on providing the customer support
we are now known for. Do a little homework Jason.

>Have you realized that you're not a very good advertisement for your

Have you "realised" you are rather illiterate? EDIT Group is its own 'very
good advertisement'. Would you like to read some of our testimonials, which
are actually written by our Users, and not one of our staff who has a bit of
time on their hands.

You got me here. Our current website was done by none other than yours
truly..and I am far from a html guru. The new and smarter looking Web Site
is just about finished being tested, so be sure to check back soon (I really
had no idea you cared so much...). I don't know about 'flogging' virtual
services though...we rather like to 'promote' them. At least EDIT Group lets
its Users know they are not dialing into a bank of modems on OUR premises,
but that we are here to market and provide the quality service they are used
to. As I have said a million times, the percentage of people who have no
idea what provider they are dialing into is very high. Alot of virtuals
don't disclose that they are vitual if they can help it...we rather think it
is something we can use in our marketting. Being part of a consolidated
'group' such as the network we belong to has far better advantages than
running on a shoestring of bandwidth (need I mention THOSE providers again)
and providing a crappy service for the few months these little people
survive. Once again Jason, wake up and smell the roses...it's happening all
around you...but ignorance seems to be your bliss.

>Have you considered that your ninth-rate newsreader may be the problem?


No....not at all. Your postings look like crap through any reader I
try....lol. And it's not just the layout that is the problem...it's the
content.

I must say...since our correspondence has become a little more detailed and
technical..your grasp on the whole situation is slipping. Whether this is
due to your own level of intelligence or your trait of denial, I do not
know. But you have dropped from being a capable adversary on specific
matters to a little person in a matchbox who yells the same answer with
different cliches each time. Very boring.

And to anyone who may be following this little saga, feel free to contact me
should your understanding of virtual internet service providers need some
clarification. It is not merely a 'sales' game as Jason can only comprehend
it to be...it's a 'service' game, and our Users are provided the best free
technical and general support they have ever experienced. No 1900
number-$2/minute schemes with us.
