this is in here 'cause i didn't want to disrupt the turkey day well-wishings post

If anyone notices the BBS Radio is down, uh... they made me do it after politely warning me:

Hi

You are receiving this message as Cogeco's monitoring system has detected excess bandwidth utilization coming to/from your system. It is possible that your system has been compromised, unbeknownst to you, with a virus, trojan, etc that is allowing a remote entity to utilize your system resources. Alternate explanations for this traffic could be peer-to-peer programs such as Kazaa, Edonkey, BitTorrent, etc.

I feel like I've just hit a benchmark, or a milestone.. my first bandwidth warning. I feel like a kid who just fried his first ant with a magnifying glass

HA! Nice that you were able to use the whole BBS Radio excuse to cover your Kazaa/Soulseek/Limewire addiction
