That's why we have a Republic as opposed to a Democracy, so that the 
minority (currently Charlie and me) are not subjected to the tyranny 
of the majority.

Oh, you're a newbie, eh?

That would be real good for business.  Sure.  Then Charlie and his 
sympathizers could post to ISP-related newsgroups and tell everyone 
in netdom that a certain ISP cancelled his account for complaining 
about customer service.

I have had discussions with Primenet personnel that indicate that 
they would not like to do this.

>Gosh, how horrible that Primenet cares what it's customers think....

Are you proposing that Primenet take a vote of customers to see 
who you think should have their accounts cancelled?

I doubt you could even spell customer service, much less understand 
it.
