If this is done, I certainly hope that *unbiased* plain language will
be used -- avoiding prejdicial terms such as "forged packets,"
"sabotage," and others which have been used in this forum to describe
best practices currently used by ISPs. Otherwise, you will be at serious 
risk of legal action for defamation, tortious interference with business 
relationships, trade libel, and similar torts. Especially since many 
such practices, such as blocking port 25 and caching, are used to
*improve* the user's experience. To state otherwise would be misleading.
