Sorry nick but i don't see you as a business.  I see you as an individual
that happens to run his own small business.

The sort of companies I was referring to are say, your large franchises,
chains of stores, etc. Companies with many employees making million dollar
profits.

I know there's a lot of melbwireless people who work for themselves but i
see them in a completely different light and have no issue with them using
the network as i see them first and foremost as fellow nerd. :-)
