[QCLUG] forum? and mediacom speed tests

All very valid statements. Personally I typically don't mind the traffic
usually, my mail is set up to automatically sort qclug posts. I'd prefer to

as well. It's just every year or so someone complains about the traffic (so,
unsubscribe and check the archives when you feel like it!)
