:) Once upon a time I worked at AOL and took a call from someone who was getting password errors. Investigation turned up that the account had been pulled for abuse. The guy I was talking to was 70 some and this was his business account; further investigation showed that the account was most probably hacked. Still, on asking, I was told to refer the guy to the abuse people and let them determine if the account was hacked, so I had to explain to this man, who was deaf as a post, that his account had been suspended due to the actions of the secondary account PuSSyEaTer in The Seattle Men for Men chat on such and such a date... did I mention he was deaf as a post? He also had no idea what I was talking about, so I had to repeat myself in increasingly louder tones as techs for aisles around turned to stare....
