So, what are the @Home customers doing about it? I know how painful it is
sometimes to move to a new email address, but, pardon me if I ask, are all
the @Home customers waiting to see if the service will be really interrupted
on Friday? I know that, for my part, I would have already moved to a new
provider already...

code grinder n.: A suit-wearing minion of the sort hired in legion strength
by banks and insurance companies to implement payroll packages in RPG and
other such unspeakable horrors. In its native habitat, the code grinder
often removes the suit jacket to reveal an underplumage consisting of
button-down shirt (starch optional) and a tie. In times of dire stress, the
sleeves (if long) may be rolled up and the tie loosened about half an inch.
It seldom helps. The code grinder's milieu is about as far from hackerdom as
one can get and still touch a computer; the term connotes pity.
