Dear Richard Bohn,

Your comment -

gave me a giggle. Indeed, too often people loose their humanity when the
raw basics seem to be the issue.

However, ecommerce can survive in my model. So I suspect most people
sniffing around here will find it acceptable.

It does allow geographically based ISPs to gain a better toehold in the
distance insensitive and geographically ignorant Internet. I'd guess
this would benefit the cable and local telcos in the short term. So
maybe the national ISPs will offer a critical comment.

But I'll batten the hatches, just in case.

Thanks for the warning.
