Apology accepted. I was upset when I received my cable bill and thought the FreeRepublic website would be sympathetic. Had a doctor's appointment and didn't take the time to read all the directions about posting. Didn't know where to post, but knew what I was stating was THE TRUTH and not obscene, mud-slinging, violent, racist, etc.

There was an article in the North Potomac edition of The Gazette, Feb. 25, page A-22 ("Comcast customers to see different lineups and rates") that states what I had posted.

That's fine. I still think stonenots is a troll.

Yeah, it's not what he said. It's how he said it.

It's mob psychology. People scan the thread first to get a feel for the flavor of the thread. People love to belong. One person tosses a rock at the 'newbie troll' and the next thing you know, it's a real-live stoning.

If I ever create my own forum, mob-stonings will be something I patrol for.

While I cannot speak for everyone, I'm very sorry for your treatment on this thread. Please try to understand that the moderators are under a lot of time constraints and they try to do the best they can. It's not an easy job, and sometimes the innocent suffer.

Yeah, it was the first mistake of my life.

Well, there was one other mistake. One time I thought I was wrong and turned out to be right.

Comcast customers to see different lineups and rates. Just for the purposes of archival.

"Feb. 25, 2004

Montgomery County Comcast cable customers, who already have seen a slight increase on their January cable bills, will notice more changes in their bills and service as of March 1.

The rate for basic service will drop from $17.47 a month to $14.75, but so will the number of channels, said Comcast spokesman Brian K. Edwards.

Fans of the Emmy-winning cop show "The Shield" and those who spend their evenings in Bill O'Reilly's "No Spin Zone" are in for some bad news: The FX, Fox News, TBS and Gameshow channels will be bundled with the preferred cable package.

Customers who order preferred cable will pay $32.22 a month, up from $29.50, for those channels. Those who subscribe to both preferred and basic will not see any changes, Edwards said.

For more information, call 301-424-4400"

tgsl, you asked me a few days ago to remind you to call and ask if they're just removing Fox, or are they going to remove all the news channels. It would seem to indicate from this article that they're just going to remove FoxNews, and not the other news channels. If you have time, or if you have time Stonenots, would you mind calling?

If not, no big deal of course. I'd call, but I don't live in that area of Maryland, so I doubt that my complaints would mean anything. Thanks, and sorry again about accusing you of being a troll Stonenots. Hey, after that "welcome" to FR, you should be ready for ANYTHING here now. :)
