To everyone from dslreports, and anywhere else, who is responding to the plight of TOMZ due to the whole pingflooding event, here is a log of some of his messages to me after I kicked him out of my chatroom. Decide for yourself who has the problem. I didn't do any pingflooding of anyone. Any data he received from me was responses to his own pings or from the webcam image he was downloading at about 6 frames per second.
