I hear you.
Can't disagree with you about dealing with cable companies either.....I
had high hopes for ClearWire when they came to my area, but they were
just not reliable here, so most of us ended up back on cable of Internet
access. I'm glad for you that your area has better service. I meant
ClearWire, not Clear...which I've never seen.
No need to explain or defend any sarcastic style....I was doing the same
thing, especially with the Elitists response to your Luddites. We're
all just having a little fun....at least till the flamers and biters
come back out.
Cheers!
