Servers and Tos

Yeh they say lots of things. But with all do respect people...it's
almost impossible for them to tell if you have a router, and speaking of
this; I didn't know that was even in their rules. Actually, they can
easily tell if you have a router, but then I can say; yes absolutely I
do, and it is serving as my firewall, which you guys explicitly state
that you do not support but allow. Therefore, they are a bunch of more
ons for thinking they can controll things, but also they are feeding of
people's common stupidity. I might have 5 to 20 computers running off my
cable modem account *smile* but the only way they are going to catch me
in this *obviously hypothetical example, of course* is to come into my
house, which even in the hypocritical legal system of today, is still
illegal without a warrant. So I wouldn't really worry about this whole
thing all that much.

Take care,
Sina

This is typical Road Runner stuff.  You can't even have a router.  Not
only that, they block all kinds of mail including legitimate mail.  They
are like a truck driver who sensors mail.  Imagine if the postal truck
came to your house and said, you can't have that mail because it comes
from John and because there are 250 John's in jail, we block all mail
from John.  That is effectively what Road Runner does, so when I read
their agreements, I'm not surprised.  I like Road Runner.  Can you tell?
