'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)

It pays to keep stuff in/on its proper 'box'.

HTH,
