Hmmmm....at least when I want to do sleazy things on the Internet I 
don't jump up and down on mailing lists about how everyone owes it to me 
to make it work.  I'm beginning to suspect that all the suggestions that 
he negotiate something with his ISP aren't getting much traction because 
his ISP has gotten really, really tired of hearing about all this.  
Anyway, last I checked, Germany is one of those countries that takes 
tight control of TVs relatively seriously; there might actually be an 
interesting back story to that little Godwin's Law outburst.

BTW, right now links to the Gymnasium Querfurt Broadcasting Channel are 
going to http://texas.gqbc-online.com/path/section_home/page_home 
in/near Dallas, Texas, which has the little note:  "Due to problem with 
the server in our main facility, we switched to our back up server in 
Dallas, Texas temporarily. Please be aware that some parts of this 
website might not work correctly and might not be up to date. We 
appologize for any inconvenience."

At the very least, however, I'm hoping that this discussion is proving 
of pedagogical value to Christopher.
