off-topic debate of the century [was: smooth surfing Was: ...NAT users]

<getting on soapbox>

I don't have broadband at home because I think it's a waste of money for
the quality of service I would get.  Obviously, several of you agree with
me, but some of you are paying for it anyway.  I think that about covers
all of the points I find relevant to my situation.  I would venture a guess
that aside from the couple of people perpetuating this debate, that covers
most everyone else too.  Any further beating of this dead parrot should
probably be taken off-list, it has been nailed to the perch for far too
long.

By the way, I think that the "all you have to do is hit delete" is the same
argument that spammers use to legitimize their wasting of my time with
fruitless email that doesn't concern me.  Shame on you.  :)  Anyone worried
about the bandwidth SPAM takes up should take a look at the 30+ message
history of this "discussion".

Ah.. But he does have a valid point. This thread has degenerated into a
fruitless argument between a few users trying to convince each other by
going round in circles. Haven't seen a new argument on this off-topic
thread for some long time. And I doubt any of you will change each
others minds.
