[rescue] Re: [geeks] THIS. MAKES. ME. SICK.

Ugh, I hate the "baby bell" and seemingly general corporate attitude from 
the point of view that they hold little faith in their people to resolve 
the issues.  I like having the big contracts as well, so that if =I= need 
them, they are there, but if not, I would perfer they stay out Out 
OUT!  But then again, there are the issues that need the manufacturer 
involvement, and well, frankly, it speaks well that most of the problems 
are only resolvable by the manufacturer, it means the ship is running 
as  tight as can be.
