[gnashes teeth] As Malch pithily pointed out, it wasn't
complimentary; it was an integral part of the service for which we
paid.

What he said. As for me, I'm gone. I was hanging on to see what the
future looked like; OK, now I have. And it stinks. So that's that.

One thing which kept me hanging on until the bitter end was the
collection of highly clued people that called Best home. Thanks, guys.

Larry must be relieved that he won't be making any more official statements
on behalf of Verio that contradict the previous official
statement. That can't have been easy.

So long.
