Based on what he is saying... If you could get those sites then you could not view FR. Obviously some people can view both. Maybe some ISP's are bridging the gap. But in any case would you rather be able to get to a photo site or to FR ?
LOL
If it was just one photo site, then there wouldn't be a problem, but as I am going thru my bookmarks, I have so far found 11 sites that I use regularly that I am unable to reach tonight, including a site that my children use for their homework all the time. I am not willing to sacrifice that.
Anyway, for me, its less about drudge and FR and more about paying top dollar for an internet connection that no longer satisfies my needs as a consumer. If RR wants my money, they will have to do better than this.
