You mean you guys have costs? Wow, I thought businesses, just made
money, and had no costs what so ever... :-)
I know how you feel.. I love when one of our customers complains about
dialup services, and then asks how many customers we have so they can add
up what us rich Republicans are doing... They most times forget that
telco costs are 26% of our cost of doing business.. Let us not forget
about taxes, insurance, advertising, rent/mortgage, backbone providers,
equipment, leases, gas, electric, the list goes on.. Oh ya, I think we
fit payroll in there somewhere, but I have yet to see any of it in the
form of a regular check.
Keep up the good work!

Jeremy Anthony Kinsey
