Metrocast has been thorn in my side from the beginning. They are trying to provide 21st century technology with Dark Ages service processes. They are slow, expensive, refuse to return calls, argue about issues on which they eventually are proven wrong. I can't being to descibe the troubles...

The Busslers also have the right to show that they can have more sense than dollars by withdrawing their foolish claims. The Zimmerman letter in the E-prise demonstrated a better understanding of the issues than the Whiney Ones. They should heed his advice. Of course, they can always send...
