Again, LEP fails to pay the bills, leading to a brief downtime. But it wasn’t completely due to incompetence.
Sometime last month, Bank of America was contacted by some company I’d used my check card at. The vendor thought some transactions may have been compromised, so they advised BoA, which reissued new cards to everyone affected.
Overall, I’m pleased that they did this rather than not. But it did affect any autopayments, and it’s taken a bit of time to take care of all the loose ends.
But even that has a plus side: I’ve eliminated $80-$100/month of payments on superfluous stuff.
Man, there was a LOT of speculation going ’round the blogs. My thought over at Wang’s was that the Mascot had pissed off some Very Important People and this was revenge. You and him renditioned to Gitmo as terrorists, all accounts frozen and all LEP commenters to be scrutinized and interrogated as possible accomplices…and since there’s no waterboarding anymore I wasn’t gonna talk, EVER. I swear.
The other thought was a technical glitch of some kind, but I kept that one to myself.
such sophisticated conspiracy theories never made it across the thin ice of my mind. i just curled into a ball and rocked back and forth until LEP came back online.
but i’d never talk either. waterboard be damned. heil LEP!
@Robert: We have a plan for that…if it ever came down to it, I’d be the “dirty” one sent to Gitmo, he’d be scot-free.
The defense is simple: real Taliban grow real beards. And the Mascot can’t grow a beard, so he can’t be a Taliban.
@Annie: “i just curled into a ball and rocked back and forth”
