I didn't really care if people were getting both DNS and locals, I just wanted to know how many people on this board were getting DNS period.
And the message has been delivered loud and clear, this board is populated with a highly disportionate number of DNS subs. Thus this issue is going to be front and center as a topic.
This forum might also overestimate the total impact on E*'s subscriber base if they are forced to discontinue or significantly limit DNS distribution. That is, if something bad happens to E* DNS, you might read accounts of 50 forum members dropping E* and imply that they are losing huge numbers nationwide. When in fact, that probably wouldn't be true.
