That level of control isn't worth $250/yr?  If not, you should question your
need for those extra features.

It's the loss of freedom that irks me so much.  10 years ago the 'Net

Rule #1 of the networks -- "My network, my rules".

I count myself in the crowd that does it all myself.  Half is because I like
it, half is because I derive income from it so it's worth it to me.  But the
ability to do it myself off my $40/month cable modem is a privilege, not a
right.  If I couldn't, I'd go back to renting a VPS for $30/mo, because it
doesn't have to be done on my box.
