For the same reason you regularly cross-post in alt.cellular.verizon and
alt.cellular.sprintpcs: because he can.

Because I elect to exercise my right to be empowered by the Internet, and to
tell the story of Cingular's bad treatment of former ATTWS customers, to as
many people as I can.

People read these NGs. Cingular probably wishes that all of us aggrieved
ex-customers would just shut up, but this is the 21st century and we have
access to technology that will spread our messages far and wide--AND MANY OF
US USE THAT TECHNOLOGY.

If you like Cingular I'm glad for you. Many of us ATTWS customers don't
share your view.

1. That's not a meaningful distinction.
2. That's not what Cingular did.

In fact I don't read either group, and I rarely cross-post to them,
except when following up to threads already cross-posted. By
comparison, Jeremy clearly hangs on here. In other words, no
comparison.

In other words, personal vendetta, following in the footsteps of Steven
Scharf.

Almost nobody is paying attention, so your message isn't getting out.

The great majority clearly do.

I would think you have better uses for your time, but apparently not.

Staying with Sprint after loosing a significant roaming area was not an
option.

Now, there is a nugget of truth if ever there was such a
thing in Usenet.

I actually misread that. In reality, there are numbers of
*readers* of these NGs who "probably wishes that all of
[you] aggrieved ex-customers would just shut up."

<grin> I have no delusions of that happening; still, it was
a nice thought.

I'm beginning to wonder if Sprint is paying him some sort of commission
to troll here.
