Well, you'll go to bed about 12.30am,  be woken up around 1.45am by a 
wild vicous electrical storm (very pretty display though), after an hour 
the thunder will abait and you'll just have nice heavy rain easy to go 
back to sleep too, then around 430am you will be woken up again with
round two, you'll get back to sleep around 5.15-5.30 only to have to get 
up at 630, you'll have one cup of coffee, but buy about 10am youll wish 
you had 4.

It still works good, the only thing I object to, is the .info TLD scores.
I quarantine messages at 8, and monitored it for ages, 8 was a gopod 
level, I probably could use 5, buit 8 is fair, one of my cisco suppliers 
weekly specials always topped in at 7 :) (course hes whitelisted now)
