Really? I thought you just did?

Perhaps you'd prefer no comment at all in such circumstances? 
After all, that's the way that most other ISP's handle the 
issue.

Personally, I *prefer* an ISP that allows robust public 
discourse with the staff and directors to those that will
only issue official statements when they've checked out
everything with their lawyers, and where they won't enter
into discussion on the issues.

You may feel differently. If so, may I recommend AOL to
you? Your modem might work there as well.
