An Open Letter to all AOL bulls:
Time Warner has a little secret division that most employees don't even know about called the "auditors". These are guys that drive around in little trucks looking for people that steal their cable feeds. They are run by the "Repair Department" at Time Warner Cable.
One of these weasels happened to break down the 6' high wood gate that surrounds my neighbor's yard, and I saw him do it. Middle of the day.
I went across the street and confronted the fellow, and he apologized because "he thought nobody was home". I asked him if the people whose back yard he was in got Time Warner Cable and he said "No". I then told him that I was not the owner of the property, I was a neighbor from across the streetn and that it would be a good idea for him to get out of the man's back yard immediately, and I walked with him back through the gate, which was lying on the ground, and which he picked back up and tried to position again in an upright position. He refused to show me any ID and would not tell me his last name.
Then this little slimeball decided that he needed to get into my back yard to install a filter on my Roadrunner feed, in order (he said) to prevent me from possibly stealing cable TV off my Roadrunner feed. He followed me back across the street to my front door, at which point I told him he could go in my back yard as soon has he had an appointment and came back and showed me a valid ID - but for now he should move his little weasel body off my property. Which he did.
That was about three weeks ago. Today, I called the "repair" department to try and find out the "auditor's" last name. The supervisor I spoke to at Time Warner refused to give me his employee's name, but did mention that the guy had come over to my house to ensure I was not stealing cable TV! I then asked this supervisor how he could check to see what was running off my Roadrunner feed, and he told me that they had done a check and discovered that there could be a possibility that I could steal cable TV.
I personally know of no such check. I think the supervisor was lying to me. I think the reason this little weasel "auditor" was interested in my cable feed was simply because I had busted him committing a crime, and his boss was trying to cover his little weasel ass for him.
I called corporate headquarters in New York City about an hour ago, and when someone calls me back, and they will, I will see what the senior executives have to say about this policy of Time Warner employees breaking into private fenced and gated back yards when the occupants of the property are not at home and the house is not a Time Warner customer. This is not to mention what my neighbor is planning, and he can be very cranky about these things since he has four kids under 12 years old.
So, AOL bulls! Keep buying the stock! The higher it goes, the more money I will make shorting it. |
