I just want to put in a tip o' the hat here to the BHN/RoadRunner *business*
support people who handle Tampa Bay.  I have had to call them, oh, 20 or 30 
times in the last 5-7 years, mostly on behalf of clients, and their front
line is *sharp*.  They understand CIDR, they don't freak out about DNS, and
they understand MTR -- hell, some of them *use* MTR.

And they don't get scared when you know what you're talking about.

Huzzah.

Cheers,
