SPUG: ISP -Stifle!

[Kenneth W. Meyer]

You're the boss, Tim; but it seems to me that your list isn't worth much to anyone without access to an ISP that provides good service.  For instance, since I hooked up to DSL, I poll my e-mail almost constantly, whereas the dial-up process was a real pain, as was the download time, so I could avoid it for days.  And where can one find a more knowledgeable group to inquire about these essential foundation functions than in such a sophisticated user community?  

Also, I say that someone who signs up to find out about PERL and then bails out when the info flow is substantial was probably just a curiousity-seeker anyway, and the high volume of PERL communications is certainly in no danger of being overwhelmed by these other occasional subjects.  

If it's still legal to pose such a question, but responses must be off-line, then I suppose other interested parties will have to contact the person asking the question and ask him to forward any answers he receives.  Bummer.

ISP Recommendations don't belong on the SPUG-list, which
is experiencing enough traffic these days from real
Perl-related questions. 

Please hold all further discussions on this topic off the list.

(As the list-owner, I see the unZubscribe requests
start pouring in when list-traffic gets heavy, as it did 
today, or when off-topic posts start to creep in.)


Thanks,
