BSIS hasn't been "slow". That's about the only thing that is working.

It's all the problems with newsgroups, email outages, outsourcing
support to some trojan-ware site, their general non-responsiveness
when problems arise and/or the nonsensical, absurdly demonstrably
false responses when they do deign to respond, and their apparent
non-concern regarding SPAM.

I could probably live with some of the problems if I could only get a
straight answer out of them once in a while, instead of being jerked
around.
