If you read *my* negative replies, you would find out that I wasn't complaining
about the message, but the fact that the messenger posts the same thing
multiple times under different IDs.
And I'm probably complaining about the messenger more loudly than anyone else.

There's that doubtful agenda and sincerity again. Sprint=20
PCS has net gained customers in each of the last three=20
quarters, and I think even farther back than that.
In addition, Sprint's 3Q2004 financial results:
http://www.sprint.com/sprint/ir/fn/qe/3q04.pdf
show a profit in their wireless business for the last=20
quarter.
There's certainly a lot needing to be fixed, but that=20
doesn't make your characterization correct.

Yes, over and over again, like a true troll.
And by the way? The merger is nowhere near final. So, cool your jets.

From a googlegroups account, no less, that homes in from a hotmail account.
Ten bucks says this is the same troll as before, trying to bolster his
credibility.

Yeah but the real tragedy is that Verizon will replace the "Can You Hear Me

Hell, it isn't even officially made yet. It is just a rumored deal for
about $35 billion. As far as I am concerned, it is a likely trap to
pull in Verizon. So far, nothing has been officially announced about
either a Verizon bid on Sprint or a Sprint bid on Nextel. The only
thing that could be considered as fact at all is that Vodophone has
authorized forward progress on looking at bidding for Sprint.
So, with that in mind, I wouldn't worry about Nextel at all.

How about addressing the subject instead of creating a personal attack?

And today the story is Verizon may try to buy Sprint first.

The key word there is "may".

That's not a bad thing.
At least the Sprint dude has more than six words in his vocabulary. Can you
hear me now? Good!

Which would suck, because in this part of the country, at least in my region of
San Bernardino County, CA, they take forever to fix capacity and network
problems, which is why I left Verizon in the first place. I don't WANT to be a
Verizon customer.

Exact opposite in the Northeast (not just part of a county). Sprint is a
weak carrier with a poor infrastructure. A Sprint buyout would be a big
boost for existing Sprint customers here.

Here in Texas, Cingular service, rate plans, coverage, customer support
and phones are all infinitely superior to what SprintPCS has.

The subject is that a person with grudge and an agenda is spamming the
wireless newsgroups with propaganda, and creating false identities to
attempt to bolster his or her position with imaginary support.
I think I am addressing the subject (that being: you) quite well.
