and like I said, they MIGHT have a valid reason for this. I seem to
remember a cable company a few months back doing this during a renumber,
or some migration... I was hoping Covad would stand up, or someone who

Or, 'just make it go away' and leave randy/daniel/austin to wonder what
happened :) Either way, so long as it stops, right?
