ISP - 2002-11-06

I feel like I'm asphyxiating here. At times, it seems like I can't even squeak a 52-byte ping packet out past your "new" best friend... that's right, Mr. Grub.org.

I'm really not asking for much! All I want is to live - is that so bad? Just a little more bandwidth; I'm begging you! You should hear the screaming of the users I carry around; it's utterly heartbreaking. Let's not even mention how many of those losers think the problem is their own fault and spend all weekend rebuilding their routers or whatnot; after all, no one would ever starve lil ol me so badly, would they?

Now, I know what you're thinking: I'm jealous. Well, even if I am, don't I still have a point? I'm still the same as I was years ago to the minds of many people, so why not let me be just that? I'm afraid that at this rate, people might start thinking I'm old, decrepit, and not fit for an AOL user! True, I'm still not run by communists and I'm still allowed to let my users do whatever they want without undue spying, but how long will that appease them?

Please. Please. I'm sooo thirsty.
