Holy shiat, I can't even deal with the off-list feedback! Thank you! Politically, unfortunately, I'm not that type. I can't do much there. I wish that I could make decisions with the company purse, but I can't... On the other hand, I wish I could direct operations. I know what needs to be done, and I know how to command people to get there. I *think* I know how to direct an entire company (given its geo-location) to success given the area it's in. Nonetheless, I am where I am, and I like it. I am responsible for what comes into my network, and what leaves it. I have written an ISP management system, and ensure/troubleshoot montly revenue streams. I love my job. I love being an ISP. Unfortunately, my ISP doesn't love me the same way. ( I can understand the business aspect, but at least show that you are technically inclined!) Steve
