| On a related note, the domains vex.net, druid.com and winternet.com have been banned from connecting to the shell and IRC servers (possibly others here as well). vex.net is a new ISP in town where a lot of ex-IO'ers hang out. druid.com is D'Arcy Cain's domain, an ex-employee of ACC and one of the few who had a real clue about how things worked on the Internet. winternet.com is well-known around these parts as one of our main newsfeeds. The only reason offered was that these systems were home to "dissidents" and those who were "disrespectful" to ACC. Several people who have been a thorn in ACC's side in the past have had their legitimate IO and ICAN accounts locked.

All of a sudden they use "network security" as the excuse,
when they had no interest in promoting it before. The people now
making policy decisions are not qualified to do so, and they will make
many more mistakes in the future, much to the frustration of the
employees and customers around them.
