And we are all proud of you for that nathan...

How did you get your job as a "programmer" nathan? Did the administrative 
assistant quit, and the boss needed someone new to fill his coffee cup?

Judging by the quality of your releases for the //gs nathan, you dont have a 
whole lot to be proud of... Oh I forgot, you are a "newbie" college grad. I 
forgot you guys know it all...

That isn't a very "christian" thing to say nathan.. Oh I forgot, you are in
"fire and brimstone" mode. Judge not nathan... for you may be judged yourself.

Really, almost every ISP has a "we can nuke your account for any reason"
clause. I haven't found an ISP without one yet...

Thats the adult thing to do here nathan... go and taddle on him.. Typical
of your selfish, self-righteous, arrogant behaviour.

Nathan, with an attitude like yours, you might find yourself in a shelter when 
your employers finally figure out that the biggest part of you is your ego, and 
not your vast abundance of knowledge....
