Theoretically, I'm not complaining, I'm venting. This isn't just my DSL provider, its a business class connection provider who also happens to provide my (hrm.. our) primary Internet connection. Are you going to teach me something with a clue bat, or are you going to beat me to death with the specifics that each prong of a fork carries? > Please correct me if I'm reading this wrong, but the emails > so far haven't been very clear and this isn't making a lot of sense. My apologies if I haven't been clear. What would you like me to say? If I can't 'complain' here, where do I go? I think that I've acted tactfully and responsibly. What didn't make sense? Enlighten me. Although I did come here with concerns and questions, I do have a clue bat of my own to swing in defence... Steve
