Someone has put the gypsy curse on Earthlink. The whole system is fouled up and the courteous help line folks only add layers of errors to the crumbling wreckage. So for the past month I have been paying for a DSL service designed to aggravate me.

Through the years, when I had more spunk, I would write letters explaining what had gone wrong and what needed to be done to correct things. I was then known as the "customer" and I was "valued".

Nowadays there is no one to identify the name of the person in charge of a company. There is no switchboard operator to connect you. So if I don't post on a daily basis it is because Earthlink.net has failed me. Again.
