FWIW,
Have no idea if this related, but in some other sites I've read recently, I believe I read that @Home is getting boycotted, er ... em, got the "death sentence" by a bunch of the news group community over refusal to limit the spam coming out of @Home.
This was late last week and @Home had asked/appealed for an extension before the "death sentence" went into effect. Something about the spammers not really being at @Home in the first place.
Sounds like they didn't inhale either.
