Dan: Um. From what I remember. Early NSTN client. Richard FIrestone. Got a permanent connection. There was something about an extraordinary number of domains associated with it. Ottawa or Toronto, not Halifax. Some months later we discovered that he was selling porn - I think, early 1990s porn, that is, just images. I don't know what happened inside NSTN management. I know that Moose was VASTLY titillated by the whole thing of course. And that we renamed him from Richard Firestone to X-Rated Dick.
MikeMartineau: As I recall, it kicked off a shit storm. we had quite an internal argument about whether we should drop him as a customer. I didn't think that we should censor our customers, to let the law decide. Others argued that we didn't want our name associated with porn or to risk legal labiility. It was our first experience with the "dark" side of the Internet and our role as an ISP. I don't recall selling it.
