Wait just a second... You mean to tell me at&t is cheating? Say it ain't so! Hopefully the FCC goes full force against them.

I've had someone use this service once to call the Garlic Jim's Pizza I managed a few years back. They held me up and attempted to scam me for 45 minutes during our busiest time of the night. I finally was able to convince the translator that is was a scam and finished the call. I estimate that we lost about 20 orders ($200-$350) during the time wasted on the phone. I was not happy to say the least.

This has been 'industry standard' for years including payphone charges and non-RBOC inter-exchange and goes way beyond AT&T. The difference here is that the federal government was being tapped rather than consumers and businesses.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
