Reply #2: I try so hard

[mzteris]

to be patient and understanding. Truly. I know what it's like to not be a "native speaker" of a language.

But geez lou frickin wheez when I keep having to say, "Pardon" "excuse me" "what did you say" "Could you repeat that" "I'm sorry, what was that again" etc. etc. etc....... especially when they give you crappy advice and you KNOW what they're telling you is just plain WRONG!!!

(I just went through this a couple of days ago - I spent - no exaggeration - nearly six hours on the phone with Linksys customer service - four of which is because the guy from the first two hours gave me totally bogus information which screwed my system way worse than it was when it started!!!)
