Re: [Nolug] New feature of Cox High Speed Internet

Why do people spend so much effort defining the rest of the world as an
enemy? Can't get what you want, the way you want it, when you want it, how
you want it, for FREE, without any consideration of the resources involved
it getting it to you? Blame the capitalist providing the service.

Spend half the effort figuring out how to offer what YOU want to OTHERS, and
you WILL become a happy capitalist.
