Re: Japanese Technomads "OTAKU"

Or every hour, your wearable could send e-mail to each LD carrier that
has annoyed you in the past month, telling them you (pick each of the

  Are thinking of changing LD carriers, what're their costs?;
  Want them to explain their disabled accessibility policy, in great

  Want to know why they haven't gotten in touch with you yet;
  Can't deal with a company that can't answer a few simple questions in
near-real time, so they should get lost!

  Ought to confoozle 'em <G>  I won't share what I've thought of for
creditors, don't want to turn any stomachs <G>
