Sorry but I work for Comcast and I also have the same issue connecting as these other folks; what is your source for this statement?

I don't have any secret knowledge about my company blocking Limewire. Can you please tell me where you got your information? If Comcast is blocking I would like to know.

I am not being argumentative or antagonistic - just asking.
