Enough is enough. First it was Comcast, Then Verizon and now this company and its shenanigans and lies messing with customers. This company should be taught a lesson so that other internet companies would not do the same. Customers have suffered enough. It would be nice if a class action lawsuit be brought against this company and they are made to pay $10 billion punitive damages and $20 billion compensatory damages and that FCC and FTC fine them and yank out their licenses. Enough is enough. They ought to back up those e-mail addresses . Besides deleted e-mail accounts can be recovered and restored. So, whatever excuse they are giving are invalid and unacceptable. myspace.com/ikbe
