Re: Glad I kicked there service to the curb

Nah. What people really get upset about is this growing trend towards businesses shifting to customers things that THEY (the businesses) should be doing as a matter of course. The only thing more annoying is the number of people who seem perfectly willing to accept paying more and more money for less and less service.

And I really resent paying for a service that then uses me as a captive audience to pelt me with ads.

We're SICK OF ADS. TOO MANY ADS! That's what its about, really, just too freakin' many ads EVERYWHERE.

Besides the while voice "unreachable" message is really intended for humans (there is no protocol to adhere) they have even made provisions for automated dialing machinery. The dee-doo-dee tone preceeding the message is for that.
IIRC, the three tones at the beginning of the message are really no longer needed. With everything being digital, those tones no longer do anything, except make you deaf when you hear em.. (they are almost always 200x louder!!) However, we still use touch-tones, so I could be (and probably am) wrong....

As for the EL DNS hijacking.... I noticed that a while back when I fatfingered an URL.... no biggie, just went back and retyped it..... I used to use 4.2.2.1 (IIRC) for my DNS, but my router and Axim get bitchy when I start specifying DNS servers.... (However, I hardly use my Axim anymore.... type to go back to 4.2.2.1 and 2.2.2.2?)
