The other day, CompuServe's mail gate went kablooie.  I phoned them to
tell them about it.  It's fixed now.
 
Well today, I get the attached.  Actually several.  So I try phoning AOL's
800 #.  What a joke!  So I pressed at least 10 keys on their voicemail to
try to talk to a human.  I was finally told to call a different number!
After several keys on the second number, I was told that the wait was 5
minutes.  Now 10 minutes later, I'm still listening to lousy classical
music.
 
I feel fortunate that I am not a member.
 
Just got through.  The CSR said he'd "report it".  Oh well.
