don't worry about being volgar ann.
there's many a time when I've wanted to tell my isp admin to go get fucked
and I know him personally and he still thinks I know jack shit.
you've just got to stand up and say hold on a bloody minute! I know just
as much about these things as u do if mot more. says he at his tech
support rep. lol.
just do what I do and do a whois on the domain and ask to speak to the
admin xxxxx and watch their jaw drop.
