Harvey, i will try to be as pleasant as possible and as patient as i can be. For some unknown reason you seem to lack the appropriate faculties to see you are being used. Surely you can see that netcom is in most cases spewing alot of bs. Their newly added usage timer is a crock, it is another 100 active hours limit on your account. To you it might seem more than natural to be lied to. In my case, i find they are now being dishonest with everyone. Even those few people who are ignorant of computers can see something is wrong when their passwords are rejected by the system on more than several dozen login attempts. What about when you experience line drops, its not a bad modem connection, its a nasty netcom timer bug. There are several new things in netcom that need tweaking and our bitching helps them to get on it. If we didn't whine or complain they would step all over us. Such is life in all cases.
