Well if your getting the same answer to the same question, perhaps you need
to word your question differently.

Funny, I don't know too many people that actually use the majority of these
caching servers.  Most people do at first but they get slow and painful.
Anyway Rick doesn't use ANY CACHING SERVER!  All his users use his sole
server!

>me misleading?  surely you jest ..  nope, its quite sad.  i'm sure you're

You are misleading when you speak about AURSC.  You haven't tried it, you
just seem to bag it.  Guess some people just like to whinge.  You are a
perfect example of a person who complains and make accusations but has no
facts to base them on.  

Quite sad indeed.  Sadly typical of Australian business people who have no
brains.

Now your trying to be a smart arse prick.  (Sorry I forgot you already
are.)  You were discussing AURSC, not IPv8.  Please stick to one or the
other.  Do not mix both into the same disussion.

You dump me your user base with contact details and I'll dump you mine.  I
can assure you I'll contact every single one of them asking for references.
 I wonder how many might get sus?  Maybe I'll just create a posting of all
the pathetic innane and ridiculous statements you've made and send them to
your clients also.  <sigh>

There you go again.  Limited with the amount of knowledge you have.

>located off two (seemingly not-particularly-well-connected) links?

Now that's a worry.  I guess the same reason you use the "seemingly
not-particularly-well-connected) telstra caching servers.

Oh or are they suddenly well connected, and if so, why is there a difference?

>oh, you'll want me to back up that with some facts?

Yes, of course.  Please do.

Your telling me Telstra are not delivering the service they are contracted
to.  Well this I'd like to see.  Please - yet again - put up the "losss"
stats you seem so proud of.

>have a nice day.

Oh I will. Very soon, I'll have a most enjoyable day.
