I agree, as someone who's used Twitter who's recently gotten fast replies and support from Southwest Airlines, Amazon, and EA lately without sitting in a phone queue or having to go through a longer web form to be allowed to submit an email request. You can include picture(s), it's public and visible, and it's easier. The amount of people griping here need to get off their own lawn and realize it's 2017 and the world has moved along.

A cheap pen you say? How about nuts, bolts, and washers?

"An owner of a defunct company accused of bilking the Defense Department out of more than $20 million, including charging nearly $1 million to ship two 19-cent washers, pleaded guilty Thursday to federal wire fraud and money laundering. Charlene Corley owned plumbing and hardware equipment supply company C&D Distributors LLC with her sister, Darlene Wooten, who committed suicide last fall, reports CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson."


"Prosecutors said among the fraudulent charges were ones for $998,798 to ship two 19-cent lock washers, $492,097 to ship an $11 threaded plug, and $499,569 to ship 10 cotter pins worth $1.99 each."

Let's not forget or skip the more important fact that obesity has TRIPLED in the US since the 1990s. I've seen so many comments blaming Facebook, smart phones, or legislation. With so many of us so much bigger than we were in the 90's, it should come as NO surprise that everyone is being physical less frequently. http://stateofobesity.org/adul...

I bought a Craigslist Nexus 5X to replace the Google Store 5X I killed. The CL one had been used on T-Mobile last, but after a 1-2 day wait (while still using backup phone), Sprint was able to provision it for service on their network again. Not painless, but they did do it, and willingly.
