So the problem isn't yours then.  Your hands are clean.  Fingers point 
someplace else.  I'm sorry, but all things considered, this is one of the 
poorest pieces of customer contact I've seen recently.

Basically, this just says "It's not our problem".  No sympathy for the 
fact that service isn't what they'd like, no expansion on what is going 
on maybe to fix things.  Nothing (none, zero, nada) is done except say 
"It's not our problem."

Probably legally correct but it's a shitty attitude. 

You'd be better off not posting naything than posting something with such 
a F U attitude.
