A couple of days ago I got a call on my direct line….
(gah. time to take my name out of the phonemail system)
User: “I have a problem with Usenet news…”
Me
: “Um, sir, you shouldn’t be calling me in the first place, send mail
to support–”
User: “But this is *very* important, and may be affecting a lot of
subscribers!
Please listen to me”
Me
: (Well, he *did* say please) “Okay, what’s the problem?”
User: “There’s nothing interesting on Usenet.
It’s all mindless crap,
and as one of the larger Internet providers, you *must* take liability
for this!”
AIEEEEEEE!
This is the point where I transferred it to one of the more
diplomatic types, before I took the airhorn and placed it too close to
the phone.
