I thought it was very funny.  It's just an autoresponder, but it
has a *bit* of a threatening tone... heh.  I'm laughing now.  And
Verio wonders why people might not be too thrilled with them?  Or
maybe they don't.

One sentence about how we might have a contract we can't simply
cancel (I don't expect the autoresponder to know) seems reasonable
enough, but yeah, paragraphs of threats are quite the nifty PR move.

Now... when Verio says they will "respond"... they aren't too clear
on what that means.  I wonder if that's a threat too.  Heh.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if the account is closed.  I
basically take it for granted I'll get charged $90 for the last
month as a going away present.
