I wasn't one of the Sprint bashers but your comment:

Sure I can damn the entire company for it.  I had very unfortunate experiences
with Sprint about two and a half years ago that convinced me that I would
never want to use them again.  Just last May (much more current information
that they have not changed their ways)  I had another run in with them and
again as a residential customer I got screwed by them.  The local operating
company told me that the type of complaints I had were common place with
Sprint (Sprint gratuitously changed my mother's long distance carrier to them,
Sprint claims C&P Telephone did it, C&P claims Sprint instigated it).

If they want to screw me as an individual they've already lost a lot of ground
as to my objectivity of me committing my whole business to such levels of treachery.
