Sean/list,
I was watching the news this morning re: This issue. A Pacbell spokesman
was talking to a reporter and here is what he had to say ( My memory is a
bit foggy)
" Pac bell is also the victim here. We did not cause this. It was a
private contractor that caused this ACCIDENT" At the point he said
accident it sounded like he was getting ready to start yelling at the
reporter.
I just thought you all might find this funny.. Please no flames!
PS: I am going to Vancouver BC on Thursday for a week. Anyone know
anything fun to do in the area?
