Maybe they, like wimsy, are a little pissed at themselevs for
trading near worthless eyesore stock for their years of hard
work, and just don't care any more.

Judging by the number of resumes being printed on various
eyesore owned isp's, I'd guess they're in for a bit of a talent
drain RSN.

Eyesore seems to value the corporate clients, and could care
less about poeple per se. They don't understand intellectual
property and privacy rights and IMHO, they are not qualified to
bo doing what they're doing. But thats just my opinion. The
stock market is the final arbitor, and while MSN buying uunet just 
gave them a boost, it'd be nice to see their stock rise for
something THEY did; so far it's only gone down from things
they've done.
