It would tie in better with the email analogy, and it could show that they all just provide access to the same network.

I like it. The reasoning's good.

I hate the term "instance". It's hopelessly geeky (it derives from object-oriented programming). It brings to mind nerds and gamers in basements.

Yes, I know what an instance is, but I never thought that was what people meant.
