No kidding.  And there's no crime in having higher disk space than other
organizations -- MCUG, for instance, has an enormous amount of disk space
because they have historically provided some VMS programs to the general
public which require more space than 1000 or 3000 blocks.  No shame in
that.  Also, I would imagine that ASG has web pages that could very easily
exceed the (IMHO) extremely small amount of space that MCIS generally
gives.

It's my thought that Asa has reacted rather poorly to this discussion

Ditto.  'cos, unless said otherwise, that should always be an assumption.
