The problem here is that one RSP was impersonating another.
Dotcomnic.net has had a bad reputation on other mailing lists for
pulling "scams" such as posting as a customer of dotcomnic.net and
raving about their services and prices, etc.   IMO OpenSRS should
issue a stern warning against dotcomnic.net, and possibly restrict
them to read only access to the list for abusing their posting
privileges, not to mention the potential defaming of a reputable RSP
who is an active and valuable participant on this forum.

I'm of two minds about the RSP only access to the discuss list.  In my
mind it does somewhat go against the openness that this service is
supposed to be advocating as a part of their model.
