This sounds like an excellent topic. I would enjoy reading these accounts, I hope people post some. This is *not* the sort of thing I flamed Dell Ellison about, however. Posting shallow references to his corporation's widely publicized media advertising campaign was what I thought to be a bit out of line with the guidelines for technical discussion. Tell me, would you like to read drek like **begin example** If you don't want to make Quality Job 1, stick with GM and Chrysler **end example** (no offense to Ford intended :-) at the end of messages originating within any corporation large enough to have an advertising campaign? If I want to read advertising campaigns, I'll pick up a magazine. Indeed, accounts such as "Last Monday at about 22:30, I attempted a call between Philly and Omaha with LD company X, and found it to be unable to maintain 2400 bps carrier. I then tried LD company Y. My call went through quickly, and I suffered very little line noise during the 45 minute connection." would be informative and interesting. If such descriptions get too numerous or dull, perhaps our esteemed moderator could collect and summarize them. Of course, that would be up to Patrick.
