Which is half the problem - you didn't bother to actually THINK before
posting. While this is to be expected, it appears to be happening rather
too often.

No, but when the hordes openly abuse this and tell their mates then the
"issue" will grow at an exponential rate which WILL cause telecom to take
notice and do something about it.

The users on the list are not the issue - the users, who tell the users,
who tell the users.. etc etc.. WILL become the issue. Thanks for making
it official, I'm sure you'll enjoy the fact that you are the one that
got telecom to enforce their 10gig cap policy a lot sooner than may have
been theh case.

Lets see.. because no one knew about it publically and so there was no
great need to rush in and fix it ? as for gains in delaying this, it means
other things that were more pressing could be done first, prioritisation
is a great thing.

It was non technical from the first post - the reason it should be kept
here is to highlight to the masses WHY YOU SHOULD NOT POST this sort of
thing in the first place.. tho with people like you around this appears to
be an exercise in futility.
