User-less-ness
It’s happened twice this week.

And I’m such a sucker, I fall for it every time.
Time.
Yes, actually, it was Time Magazine I was writing to…
I am using a Pocket PC and doing so quite happily. With this device I have access to the Internet in every corner of the globe.
And you think I need to upgrade? For what, to read your website? A web site so interesting that it has been hidden behind God-only-knows what kind of scripts and contrivances.
Well good luck with that. If you ever decide you’d like to change your ways, I’ll always be there to help.
OK, maybe that was a little snarky, but I’ve been driven to the brink, pushed nearly over the edge! You all know I can’t survive without Mr Pockety-Thing in my little hands, and clicked an innocent enough link from CNN to their cousins at Time…
But no: read for yourself.
Phththfth, I say, and I’m being generous.
Oh, so the e-mail comes back…
(reason: 550 5.1.1
This happened recently, and that wasn’t even a snark-a-gram that bounced! I was transferring one of my domains from Company X to Company Y, and X sent me an e-mail telling me how much they wished they could keep me as a customer.
Well, I thought, maybe I should explain about the great deal Y has offered and maybe X will want to match it. That’s only fair. So I clicked on the e-mail address provided for my use in contacting them… seconds later, same result. User unknown. Some customer service, eh? And now I’m taking *all* of my business from X and moving it to Y!
Will these companies ever learn? I guess they’re so smart already, they ain’t got nuthin’ more *to* learn! Oh well!
