  • Does this still operate

    From Daryl Stout@1:2320/100 to Allen Prunty on Tue May 24 00:12:02 2016
    Allen,

    Was a very fun echo in it's day.

    It's almost better to shop online. It's a bear trying to get technical
    or customer support, though...especially when the folks at the other end
    only speak broken English.

    Daryl

    it's day.
    I was one of its main contributors. I try my best not to be a retail horror
    to employees now since I play the customer role now.

    I've been carrying it for several months now and yours is the first post I've seen.

    I'll reply too... Pretty sure when I joined the BBS I just chose "all"
    for the message groups and then unsub via offline when I don't want to
    read it... Must have been nothing here to prompt an unsub - LOL



    Holy Crap!! You guys really scared me. Nothing like the time I found Bozo the clown under my bed. :-)

    Hi Daryl Stout!

    Was a very fun echo in it's day.
    It's almost better to shop online. It's a bear trying to get
    technical or customer support, though...especially when the folks at
    the other end only speak broken English.
    I have a couple of stories about customonsters, but my momma told me "If I can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." :)

    Besides, you just never know whom might be watching....

    Cheers,

    Bryan

    Hi Daryl Stout!

    Hi, Bryan...

    I have a couple of stories about customonsters, but my momma told me "If I BH>can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." :)

    Besides, you just never know whom might be watching....

    Yet, the complaints I share with other customers in line...they fully
    agree with me.

    Daryl
