Not only is it quite likely the person isn't there anymore (this is MCI 
after all) but emailing them would likely be fruitless or would result 
in a reply along the lines of "Please contact customer service."

I actually had MCI residential quickly correct a billing mistake several 
years back. Was a lot less than $946.36, too..

I wish that I could have enlisted the media when SBC screwed up another 
T1 installation. I'm batting 0 for 3 with SBC so far, the most 
interesting one was them testing a circuit clear across town, insisting 
that it was mine. I'm sure many of you can beat me by miles, though..
