yeah, I know. it was a first person literary style because I wanted to
drive home a point to the poster who obviously had not read your original
post and popped up a smart remark to my post. excuse the digression on my
part.

So, you're going to be wasting time and paper sending a letter to a
board that can't do squat.

Read the thread before you go off half cocked.

The suggestion was made to forward the complaint to the state public
utilities commission, which would have been useless.

Exactly my point. So, you're being argumentative for nothing.

in many cases, but not all.

key phrase is "in my state". The PSC in my state controls Bellsouth which
is a parent of Cingular. When Bellsouth has false advertising on their
website, that falls under PSC jurisdiction. When the false advertising is
referencing a Cingular cellular service, the service itself falls under FCC
jurisdiction. In my case a complaint to the PSC and the FCC, because that
is how it works in "my state". You stated yourself "generally" and then
proceeded to make it "universally". The poster who stated that one could
register a complaint with the local service commission had a valid point,
it would not be useless. And finally, I'm not in an arguement (perhaps you
are). I'm in a discussion.
