Bugger that e-mail listing!  My friend had problems with Net-Screwyer.  There
were some occasions where Net-Loozer would not disconnect, even though the
command had been issued.  In one case, it was 4 hours before he noticed.  
There was also problems with the creditting of his free time.  When he 
contacted accounting, they referred him to tech support, who in turn referred
him back to accounting, who referred him back to tech....you get the idea.
When he finally bailed from Netcom, they were still charging his credit
card for a couple of months after he had given them notice.
