Hmm.  I guess I am one of those who are costing you more out of your
pocket too.  I am sharing Linux iso's via bittorrent, as well as
grabbing plenty my self.  I am hosing a web server, ssh server with
shared tunneling, jabber server and an ogg server.  I have an
average upload bandwidth of ~4GB / month.  My download sits around
100-125GB / month, which I consider fairly light.

I find your response out of line.

Thanks,
