As webmaster and steering committee/board member, I think I can speak for us all when I say that such a details overview from Matt is NOT excessive advertising or marketing, and we welcome his comments. I want to add kudos and support to Matt's comments, as one of our most energetic LOCAL ISP, Crocker has done an exemplary effort in support the local area far in excess of what one might even expect from a local company -- and esp when they have to constantly battle Verizon for access and support that legally Verizon is required to provide.
