couple of years ago before switching to sprint was having HUGE problems with verizon.
I lived within line of site of 2 verizon towers but suffered daily from dropped calls, no service, poor service.
called service multiple times a day complaining.
got worse, a service rep at the verizon store recommended buying an external antenna from a mall kiosk. brought it back to the store to confirm I bought the right thing and same rep told me I would violate warranty if I plugged it into phone.

the day number portability was available to me verizon requested I change carriers and offered to forgive the termination fees.

so it is not just sprint that has problems with customers that call service and complain too much.

Any chance of not posting in HTML? It somewhat detracts from your

no chance at all.
learn how to control/configure your mail/news program to display messages in the format of your choice.

The format of my choice is HTML.

Your original post - what, 10 lines of text? was 83 lines. Meaning 73
lines of HTML crap.

Follow usenet etiquette and post in plain text only, otherwise you'll
find yourself killfiled by many people.

Mikey's been asked before.

Clearly (n)etiquitte isn't something he's overly concerned about.

(Think Evan meant "text" not HTML.)

Yea I stopped reading most all of his posts long ago (don't use kill files
except the one in my head). Not only did he post in HTML but he had an
annoying sig. Apparently he still does. Perhaps 1994 will come calling to
get their marquee back.
