What he is saying is that he is happy to be a former customer, because he gets better service elsewhere, and because EL is going to Hell in an a handbasket, he is even happier to be a former customer.

| I don't like watching companies dump employees for a quick return, or to make Wall street happy. In the end it puts them in miserable place when they do finally get back on their feet, pending that is possible.
A better fix is general to cut executive pay, remove a few layers of extra management, and maybe not pay out bonuses or perks, especially these days when one executives pay can be equal to or greater then 15 to 20 mid level salaries.
What I am happy about is that I, as a customer, am not paying a company, that has done something I can not agree with ethically, for goods or services.
I am not happy that the reason for my cancellation (Earthlink selling me services it could not deliver, and the difficulty in obtaining any kind of support beyond what you see in a foamy cartoon) has nothing to do with this. But I can pretend:)
