[BBLISA] I need a colocation for 10 or perhaps 12 1U machines

[Sean Lutner]

  The list of personal colocation providers maintained by Mr. Vixie are 
in no way that I know of associated with him, he is just keeping a 
list. I offered the list as a potential suggestion, and hoped that 
maybe it would help Dima.

I don't think I or anyone else on this list needed to see a rant such 
as that. Your personal battles with people that stem from other mailing 
lists are really off topic, and rather unnecessary.

Thanks
Sean
