@Steve, I'd like you to share a good laugh with me online as we get on with the weekend. I'm in my artistic mode now, so here goes but will try to be brief. :-))))

You, me and some others on this list have a lot in common thinking. Remember I never wrote that you were a moron, all I wrote was that the people out there who create Open Source/Free Software are the morons because well we end up becoming "users and consumers", right? Because I understand software development well enough to a certain point, I knew what I was writing. You understand the ISP sector very well and have written your comments below. Now am going to put you in my shoes based on your comments below which I've set to bold and highlighted, for the sake of some humour :: :-)))

The problem is not the technology. It's poor business practices and
ethics, bad attitudes, lack of passion to do things right, and failing
to put customers first. Nothing anyone creates will change anything
without a change of mindset.

ISP1 to @Steve>You have just insulted our multi-million KSH investments sector. Who do you think you are and what makes you think your are smarter than us? Do we not know how to run our own businesses? We are educated, we have customer care centres, we have support lines, we have spent millions on renovations and new technologies. We pay our staff well and we know what we are doing. How dare you accuse us of poor business practises and ethics, bad attitudes, lack of passion to do things right and failing to put customers first!!

ISP2 to @Steve>What is all this name calling or even insulting people? How dare you even point a finger at us!! You will teach us nothing, so unless you have something new to tell us, just keep to yourself. And stop pretending that you know anything. Its people like you who come online and create all sorts of problems on mailing lists. We have many who are already complaining. Useless fellow!!

ISP3 >CLAP...CLAP..CLAP...YAHOOO...YAHOOO! 

ISP3 to @Steve> Who are you?? Show us some tangible evidence of your achievements which we know you have none. Who are you to tell us anything? You are totally useless! 

@Steve to ISPs>Hmmm........

Some months later, What @Aki and @Steve started on a mailing list ended up become the standard. All forums died out due to lack of postings and contributions. All that was left was classified queries.
