Maybe you'd be willing to empathize with me, then? :) The business I work for lives off ads, and is actually a good business and supplies a lot of fun to millions of people a day. And as far as paying customers, most of our userbase are kids, so that's not going to work very well.

Also we are a global site and get a good deal of traffic from overseas, so this French ISP is actually affecting our business (it's not going to get anyone laid off though).

Just something to think about -- the internet is working relatively smoothly as it is. Playing around with the basics like this will have more effect than you may realize.
