I have been using the USWest/Qwest DSL for just about 3 years now. And to hear this news almost makes me want to puke!
I think that this is the biggest mistake that Qwest could ever make. At home I run a mix of both M$ Win2K machines and Linux boxes and knowing M$ they probably find away to stop that.
I have allready called into Qwest and wrote what I concider some serious nasty letters (I won't go into what I said in them here) and expressed my disgust with them.
But we will see what happens, I know from the other people I have talked to that also use DSL from USWest/Qwest have also said they are not looking forward to changing their e-mail names to whogivesacrap@msn.com or whatever it will be.

I made the new gofuckyourself emoticon just for Mr. Kersten AKA Colon. And to let him know of this a few us here @ NWConnections are just appaulled at this injustice.
So on the main page of our website we posted just a little message for him. If you would like to see this please goto www.nwconnections.com
Lets all put an end to this BS that goes on, especially by this man. Ohh and BTW if you really want to protest this you would think that ThinkGeek.com would pull any products that this company makes. And for anybody that works at/. maybe stop advertising the posters.
