Re: Firefox v2.0RC2 shake down ?
And you're posting these issues here, why?
This info should be going to Mozilla's bug list or whatever they're calling it.
It doesn't help the project if you don't report it to the right people.
Bank of America.
I did tell you to muscle Bank of America for their shitty online solution and if they don't care (as in don't care about reputation and customer relations,) change to another bank. If my bank could change, then yours can too. Except that mine is Norwegian and your is, well, kind of American.
Scared?
Is it so scary to stand up against some big firm which do things the wrong way and tell them about better solutions? Mine, my mums, my mates and other people s banks listened to the feedback from the customers and fixed the flaws.
For instance, the web shop I normally purchase hardware from was a bit vendor locked. I sent them a nice and long email where I pointed at the flaws and offered solutions to it. I got a nice one in return where they thanked me for the feedback. The flaws is no longer present.
