Boy, you have no compaints from me.  My service is not
to bad but the green slime we sue for phone lines
tends to get in the way at times. 
I have had to wonder though, (just curious, mind you),
why Farmer's mail comes after 3 to 4 replys to the
original?  Now, I know it can't be ATIS or else others
couldn't reply.  The delays seem to be on MY end???  I
tend to notice his delays as they are more constant
than anyone else's.
Just have to grin, shrug, and go back to smiling.
On a similar note, I can't get DSL service from anyone
even though the line runs only a block from my house! 
And for what it's worth, my U.S. Congressman can't get
decent service at his place either, so I guess I can't
really complain _to_ awfully much.  Oh well, got to
crank the handle and "Hey Mabel, can you get me my ISP again?"
