   Good for you, Al!

   I've been with AT&T a long time, and when they wanted to give me some extra   
   discounts on my monthly bill, there was a catch to it.  When I asked what the   
   catch was, the person I spoke to told me that I'd have to contract for 1   
   year.  I asked them if they were looking at my history on their monitor and   
   received an affirmative. I then asked if they didn't feel a little silly   
   asking that question.  A very good friend of mine from the "frozen north"   
   advised me to get away from them long ago, but I hung in there.  I don't know   
   whether I'm stubborn or was just curious to see what new wrinkle they would   
   come up with to the detriment of their customers.  (-:[

   P.S. Their "AI" answering machine can now understand whole sentences and I'm   
   tempted to tell it it's fired.  (-:0
