Re: [LM_NET] Error Reports/mad as heck

[Dawn Sardes <dawn511@ADELPHIA.NET>]

Okay, y'all know how whenever your browser freezes up and you close it and then 
that little grey "Send Error Report" window opens and you're a nice, responsible 
person, and, in fact, you're impressed that Bill Gates cares enough to want to hear 
about your problems with their software.

Well, last week, my Adelphia high speed experienced a service interuption--there 
was NO internet access for over 24 hours.

So, from time to time, I'd try to open Explorer just to see if it was back up 
again, and the browser would freeze.  I'd click on that X in the upper right corner 
to close it, and guess what?

That's right, that freaking Send Error Report box popped up.  So, for the fun of 
it, I clicked on OK, send report.  It went through the entire rigamarole of 
PRETENDING to access the server, send the error report, and then that third box 
opened thanking me for sending the error report.

THEY ARE SCAMMING US!!!!  THERE IS NO ERROR REPORTING GOING ON!

My computer HAD NO INTERNET ACCESS to send THAT REPORT!

Hah!  Busted!

So, anyway, don't bother sending those error reports. The lights are out and nobody 
is home.

Boy, do I feel like an idiot for all those times I sent all those error reports.
