Dear all concerned, My e-mail address will change. It was windsor@sirius.com, don't know what the new address will be. Here's what happened. Warning. If you have an Earthlink account cancel it. This happened to me. I had an account with First World. Without telling anyone First World switched all dial-up accounts to Earthlink. Earthlink, then changed the e-mail addresses of all concerned, without the account holders permission and without the knowledge of the account holder so that no matter what you now have a different e-mail address that has no connection to your former e-mail address. And your former e-mail address will no longer work. Here's the catch, to get your e-mail that Earthlink now has, you must sign up with Earthlink as your Internet service provider. Doesn't matter if you have a business with lots of correspondence based on your old e-mail address, that' too bad, you now have to change all that and start all over again. First World trashed their customers and now Earthlink robs the customers whom First World dumped. Anybody know how to counteract this kind of abuse or of any lawsuits against this kind of practice, that of slamming people to other companies without that person's permission regardless of the effects on one's business or correspondence? Help. It's horrible! And you can't reply to this e-mail as I won't get it !!!!!!!!!!!! Until later. Jim Windsor
