Hi. That is so annoying! I don't know where you live, but if you live
in an area of the country where they have Angie's List, I recommend
joining it. Angie's List (AL) is an organization that lists and rates
service people, repair people, and similar organizations. The
homeowners who are members of Angie's List rate and grade the service
people. You can read the reports on the Internet or call the Angie's
List telephone number and have them help you. The companies listed on
AL are not allowed to rate themselves and they cannot pay to be on the
list. The list is based solely on feedback from homeowners who are
members of AL.

I joined AL this year. So far, I've used about five of the services
recommended by my local Angie's List, and overall, I'm very pleased.
The only one I had reservations about was the plumber I chose. I spent
a long time researching and reading member-reports on many of the
plumbers listed. Even the highly rated ones were not so well rated as
far as price. The plumber I chose was very expensive, and I'm still
uncertain whether I would recommend them. As I said, every other
business has been very good to excellent, and they were all very
prompt. A couple of them called me a few minutes before they arrived to
tell me they were on their way.

The Angie's List website is: www.angieslist.com. Their telephone number
is 1-888-715-3941. If you do have an Angie's List office in your area,
they will have a local phone number as well.

least you got to talk to a human when you phoned......most of the time
its press 1, press 2, press 3, press 4.....how does any business ever
get done? And besides my time is just as valuable as theirs.....why do I
have to listen to all the ^&%^%&^%& options?

americans are stupid&lazy by design and nature, that is why the chinese took
over all industry.

1) No Chinese cheated by fixing they currency at lower (8x) dollar
levels.
2) Repuks are making money on that scheme, they don't want to act.
3) Most economists predict bad impact on china should US impose
tariffs.
4) Another pretty retarded story is that the most IMF/World bank money
goes into
China & India; where Chinese/Indian government pockets all the profits
and US taxpayers pays for Chinese/India poor.

It is amazing to me people complaining about lack of employment and
supporting crooks like W, Cheney, Wolfie, Tom DeLay, Frist and they
cronies.

If you are a republican to deserve what is coming to you.

W Bush nickname should be "can't get anything right".

If you're caught in one of those abortions, try just hitting 'O'. A lot of
times that will break through to a person who can direct your call.

Yep. Real **** heads. I had a quote from a crew who were installing
some windows. We picked a date and agreed to it. I told them that I
would be taking an annual leave day from work in order to be home for
the window job. They were so sure they would show up that they agreed
to pay me for my day off if they never showed. They put this in writing
on the quote. Low and behold, the day of the job was sunny and warm but
they never showed. I never asked them why but - true to their word when
the job was done they knocked a days wages off of the final cost to
compensate for my lost leave day. Time is money.

You know, Nick, at times people have accused me of having a spelling fetish.
I don't think I do, I just like to read words spelled correctly.

We have many people ranting and raving here about politics, morality, and
all manner of things, yet they can't use the words their/they're or
your/you're correctly. And when it comes to capitalization or correct
spelling, they seem to think that if they spell it so that it looks like
what they want to say, it is okay. They can't even use a SpellChecker,
because that involves a series of moves that requires intelligence and
logic.

How can anyone present a credible plausible point of view using such
methods? I mean, if they didn't pay attention enough in spelling class
(which is easy), how are they going to learn politics, history, current
events, international agreements, and the like. They surely would have
slept through those classes or just failed them all together. Anyone who
can't spell surely can't understand foreign trade policies.

Most who post here who can't conjugate verbs, spell correctly, or use proper
grammar and syntax are just adolescents with a mind full of opinions, bias
and anger. The others are past 21, and their minds are in the same
condition because of lack of education or attention to news and current
events. Most are bitter because they don't have the education they need to
go out and live the lifestyle they think they are entitled to by merely
being an American citizen. Someone in another country is always "stealing"
their job, or an evil corporation is taking advantage in some way.

Yet, they ignore the fact that they have two helping hands, one at the end
of each of their arms. All they need to do is have the brain to make the
left one and the right one work together. But alas. They are too busy
watching MTV, playing video games, getting stoned, skateboarding, or
sleeping to make it happen.

Just say no to them, ignore them.

Usenet is only a mirror on life. Every human situation that happens out
there happens in here except one.

In the real world, people who run their mouths get their butts kicked a lot
quicker and a lot more often. Here, one can prattle on forever in the shade
of anonymity and not have to face their medicine. They can be as rude and
nasty as they like.

There have been cases of people "looking people up", as it is quite an easy
thing to do in a lot of cases. In that situation, real life takes over, and
the two disagreeing parties settle it in real life and in real time.

Usenet is a great place to discuss ideas and get helpful information. It is
like having a conversation in a gymnasium full of people, though. You have
to adjust your mindset to focus, and not let the din bother you.

A) The French were "here" first, so it was a little hard to keep 'em out.
B) They weren't in Louisiana first, so, I don't think the Americans can
