'Chastised' was not the intent. 'Made aware' was.
Glad to have gotten around the 'pre-conceived notion' barrier.
Better to have a 'heads up' from a fellow-traveler than a disconnect
and/or legalese threats from
an upstream that may not be easily replaceable. That can be seriously
inconvenient.
Most of us depend on those broadband tail-circuits. Too few of use read
the ToS. ;-)
My mail servers, BTW, sit in a leased rack in a proper data center.
'Traceroute' if you wish.
I don't run any 'service' from the workstation (in Hong Kong last week,
Bangkok this week, and the USA next week)
