Because? I know IF I didn't know that Linux works and love it, I would be 'turned OFF' by trying to login. And, that site is where I first got on this list!! If I used the same path today to sign up via qwest, I would NOT be a linux user AS I COULD NOT get to the sign up for the lists unless somehow someone gave me the last link in the sig file that all these messages have!! PERIOD END We ARE loosing contacts/potential users as a result!! EVERYTHING depends usually on FIRST impressions, and right now, for those 'banned' domains, there is NO impression or negative impression for those who have heard of PLUG and google for it cause it is always down for them. Think about it for a few seconds and you have to agree! My $0.02 Cyclists should expect and demand safe accommodation on our public roads, just as does every other user. Nothing more is expected. Nothing less is acceptable! Long live Knoppix!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
