It doesn't matter what it is or how easy it is. The cost structure is specifically designed to be forbidding so that people DON'T ask for application-level support. CF is an application on YOUR BOX. How much should they charge if I call them and ask for macro to be created in Word? How much to add a new email account to SmarterMail? How much to change my desktop wallpaper? The answer for all of these is: a huge, unreasonable amount that will prompt you not to call for work you should be doing. > "None of these assertions can be backed up by the original request. > The requestor only said that he didn't like the performance or support. > No assumptions can be made about his skill level." > Ok so he says basically that he needs support, you don't need a zune > manual to figure that part out. If he knew enough about running his own Your assumptions are faulty. Needing support doesn't say anything: every level of service needs support. You're assuming however that he need an unreasonable level of support for his chosen service. CT provides appropriate service and provides it well. When I opened my account I needed "support" to set up DNS. I opened a ticket and was promptly pointed to a well-written document in the knowledge base covering that process. When I need to upgrade RAM on a box I need support. Since no details were given no clear assumptions can be made. I prefer to assume that the poster is asking for a level of service that they understand, you treat everybody like an idiot. Different strokes. Damn I'm so consistently amazing by the warped lens through which you view life.
