I run into this type of stuff too. It's so frustrating. Recently signed up for a health care account thing. They were spamming me. There was a field that said, "don't send me any email". I wasn't allowed to choose it unless I gave them my bank account number. I'm serious. I contacted them via email -- the only option. I said, turn off that option. They sent me an email back -- two days later that said please call us at 800.555.1212 What? So stupid. I emailed back. I'm not going to call you. Here are the screenshots, uncheck the option. They finally did it. They also told me, "you can't set that option because your phone number isn't in the account" Guess what? The phone number is on the same page in a field right in front of them on the screenshot. This is how technology makes our lives better. :rolleyes:

I don't think that's a problem with technology. I think that's a problem with idiots using the technology. Not exactly the same.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
