No, because MSEN is in the middle of those three groups ("somewhat
less").  However, nearly all the MSEN principals (specificly Ed, me,
Owen Medd and Mike Wayne) have all been very active in the preservation
of free mail park services in Michigan.  We helped found mi.org, one of
the first domain mail parks, and still pitch in advice.  We still hand
out the names of the Michigan folks who do it for free.  We don't
regard them as competition; we're delivering somewhat different services.

Mail parks in general are a good thing.  We've had workshops on them at
the LISA conferences the last two years; it was quite disappointing to
see that some of the same folks from the first workshop came to the
second but hadn't made one.  As a commercial provide I should probably
regard that as a Good Thing, but I'd hoped for more action.
