Excellent point. And always read your bank statements/credit card statements.

I hate those AOL bastards. It took me months to get them to cancel. Thieves.

I replaced them with an ISP that lets me pay by check, which pleases me greatly.

That's what you think, Gaugie. I tried that. The bank told me I couldn't do it. I told them "Oh yeah?!?!?! Well, then I cancel my credit card as of Right Now!!"

So, you know what they told me? The Evil Bastards at the bank informed me that I couldn't do that, either. That if I cancelled the credit card, they would immediately issue me a new one with the AOL draw on it. How do you like that? It's a wonder the whole frigging country doesn't go postal.
