 It is blatantly commercial and
 puts the TFN in direct competition
 with ISP's that may support it.
 A non-profit, community server
 is for private citizans to use
 *NOT* for  businesses to make
 money off of. 

 I suggest a little discussion
 is in order with the person who
 registered this "now" account.
 Their use of a free public service
 for profit making is unacceptable
 in my humble opinion. Unless they
 are willing to pay major $$$s
 for the privilige.
