I seriously expect that companies will make a regular practice of screwing
up billing, in order to screw people out of late fees or whatever. It's a
logical extensnio of all the other shit they've gotten away with in recent
years.

Except that they generally seem pretty willing to remove those fess when
it is arguable that they're the ones who screwed up, if you go through
the trouble of calling and complaining hard enough.

How many companies handle billing mess in a reasonable way?? I've had
service issues with almost everyone - Phone, credit card, auto loan,
personal loan, insurance. Local companies as well as MNCs like GE,
HSBC, Prudential Life. And all suck at customer support.

Re #25: I've always figured this is why the window between when my
credit card bills arrive and when I pay them off has steadily shrunk.
I've also noticed that some credit cards seem to have eliminated the
one-month grace period on purchases before finance charges. I pay my
cards off in full every month, yet suddenly one card started charging me
finance charges anyway unless I stopped using it so that there were no
overlapping charges. I quickly stopped using the card.

Err, I meant to say the window between when my credit card bills arrive
and when they're due, not when I pay them off.

I think we should have a funeral for Eric. If Comcast says he's dead,
who is he to argue?

let's skip the funeral and go straight to the wake. Hey, we could have a
nice padded coffin for him to lie in if he drank too much and passed out.

My dad tells the story of a neighbor of his grandparents, who had been
erroniously declared dead while serving as a nurse in World War I. Her family
had had a funeral for her before she got wind of it and sent them a four word
telegram, "not dead. Will write."

fodder for another anne rice novel .. except that 'blood canticle' is
her last in teh vampire chronicles.
this story may, however, revive her interst and propel it into 21st century.

Anne Rice said that Memnoch the Devil would be the last Vampire novel,
and look how many she's written since then...

(What a pity the surgeon did not staple her lips, too, while he was at
it.)

Every Star Trek film since eihter 1 or 2 has been "the LAST one...EVER!! Cross
our hearts and hope to beam up!" I think they stopped numbering them after
6 to try and avoid it looking like Nightmare on Elm Street.

(I think they stopped numbering them after 6 because the cast changed.)

Equally plausible (unless your not a conspiracy theorist, in whichj case it's
more plausible). They could have solved that problem by calling 'em "ST:TNG
I, II, III..."

I think they stopped number them after 6 because they didn't want us to
know they were using a base 7 numbering system.
