PittsburghThoughts

Death by one thousand cuts,

I'm waiting to hear back from Blogspirit, the host of this blog. I ask them a simple question about how to retrieve my deleted files. They sent me a minimalist reply that contained zero usable information. I think it was seven words long. The last time I checked ( I never really checked)  seven words isn't enough wordage to explain how to open a bottle of Ketchup let alone retrieve blog archives.

I sent them a the same question a second time. They told me they had already answered my question, subtext: Are you stupid or what? I wrote them again, the usual disgruntled consumer complaint garboo, only this time I was a bit more aggressive, either answer my question so that I may retrieve my lost blog entries or refund my money. I haven't heard back yet.

So, I'm running on borrowed time using a service that I don't particularly like but having nothing else to replace it with, for now. Did I mention that the blog host, Blogspirit is a French concern? While I admire the French and their unique national characteristics, what other country could make a French movie as well? In the family of nations, they are the intellectual geezers, woman pleasers, and world renown cheesers. But will they refund my dough?

They, the napoleonic blog police, may use this blog as proof that even thought I asked for my money back I continued to use their product, so therefore your honor, "How dissatisfied could he really be?" "Your honor, may I speak in my defense?" Go powder your wigs you flaming French fags. (If I offended: wigs, flames or fags I apologize.)

Maybe I'll get my refund, big deal, 87 dollars, 57 Euros, but my blogs, my beloved blogs who gets them? Are they meant to wander forever like orphaned thoughts in the purgatory of cyberspace? Someday my children, my MP3 files, my youtube videos and my irreverent, desultory ramblings ...we will meet again ... farewell for now and may flights of Angels sing you to your rest.    Gene
