You are not punishing Demon users, they already punished themselves when
they chose Demon, you are simply making them aware of the consequences
of chosing a s**t service.  Demon had the choice not to make that happen
for their users, and decided tough for the users.  Well, now it is tough
for Demon.  When you serve Demon out, be sure you tell all the Demon
users why.  Otherwise they will blame you.  I found your explanation quite
clear.   I am about to do the same thing with AOL.  They have been warned
by me many times, and they say, the s**t sw we get with U**x works that
way so there is nothing we can do.  Nothing but go under, I guess.  BTW,
I work as a consultant, so if you are up against sw and there is "nothing
you can do" pull out your checkbook and give me a call.   Dave
