#1 Sorry if you are referring to me as giving you shit,  I was only
responding to all of the "downer" posts. no one in particular.  The gist of
my follow up post was to quit bitching and/or quit giving them money if you
are un-happy.  I've been with WWA close to four years (maybe more) and I
find it difficult to give up hope.

#2 There is no hope, There is no more WWA, and now I'm going to have to find
a new provider and get everyone I know to start using a new address.  I'm
going to keep this account until the end of the year, and the only way that
I will stick around longer is if I hear an out-pouring of requests from the
remaining staff.  I cannot support a company that reduces its staff when
they are still having troubles supporting their users.  I _can_, and want to
support the remaining staff who have been with us all this time.  If they
ask us to keep from jumping ship then I will, as long as service doesn't go
further down the crapper.
