AntiMatter, are you serious?
You can't be this brain washed , Who The **** is Ralph Stephenson that he can't answer an e-mail. Is this how business exists these days? If you walk into a restaurant and you ask for the manager because the service was horrendous is it logical that you shouldn't be able to speak to him? This is why banks could destroy the economy, because, there are people like you that some how think that individuals should not be accountable when it comes to business. Even on a basic level, I as an individual have every right to send an e-mail to the proprietor of a business, I could care less if he recieved 10 million e-mails in a day. If he doesn't answer, he doesn't answer, but the argument that you shouldn't be able to send the care taker of a business an e-mail is simply preposterous, and it's the reason why capitalism today as an economic system is doomed to failure because some where along the line someone got the idea that mega corporations were a good idea, and the complete removal of accountability to both communities where they did business as well as with the individuals they did business arose. When business becomes to big to fail, and corporations (have the rights of humans, there by shielding the individuals who run businesses from any ramifications from their actions), as well as the complete brain washing of individuals into believing such practise is beneficial to society then it's time to throw out the baby and the bath water. I simply read your post and couldn't believe what I was reading. It's like the argument against the government option, as though private insurance companies by default would do it better, somewhere along the line people seem to forget private entities are not hear to provide healthcare, or jobs, or even keep the economy going ... they are here to do one thing, make money for their share holders, hence, the wall street meltdown. In the same vain after reading your post I can see how this madness is allowed to continue. Tell Prince Stephenson I'll make sure my lowly peasent friends don't trespass again and we implore he not send us to the gallows. We fear his wrath.
P.S. what other important decisions does Stephenson have to make other than to ensure that he keeps people buying his product? Ultimately, thatis his only job, while you consider it peon work, I consider it tantamount to his effectiveness as a CEO. SBC now ATT is the epitome of corporate power today, they are not succesful becuase they are a good company in the sense of to customers, but have positioned themselves such that they are effectively to large for others to compete.
