Our cable provider is having some sort of trouble today, so I had to
find and hook up my silly old modem in order to send off a 44-page

Anyway, I called the cable co to report the outage and while I was
waiting for the gal on the line to get an answer to "why," she was
starting to try to sell me on VOIP. I started laughing and said, "If i
had VOIP, I wouldn't be able to make this call..."

She didn't get it.

Recently you were touting your 20 Mb/sec DSL. Did you just switch to
cable for the Internet?

You dumb ****. My post had nothing to do with DSL or Cable, it had
everything to do with my 44 page manuscript. Why won't any of you guys
ask me about my manuscript.

Damn, I can lead you idiots to water, but can't make you dumb ****s drink.
