[newbie] More on Sympatico Microsoft.
Looks like existing Sympatico customers DID receive advance notice about this, but did not receive a choice in the matter. Still, there's no news about the fact that their email system is being moved to Microsoft. Hmmm. http://service.sympatico.ca/index.cfm?method=content.viewcategory_id=60content_id=2109 The plot thickens? Lanman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

All I'd want to know from Sympatico on this subject would be an answer to: Why the devil do you think I would want you to share any data about me, of any kind, with a third party. Especially if that third party is a corporation like Microsoft? I wonder if they'd even *try* to answer.

I filed a complaint with the CRTC, which was forwarded to Sympatico. They have 30 days to respond, and when they do, it will come to me and will be sent to the CRTC as well, who will then have a review panel take a look at my complaint and Sympatico's response and then we'll see what happens. I intend to keep the list up to speed on whatever I hear about it. If it goes well, then I come back here and ask all interested parties to submit a complaint as well, so that the CRTC spends all their time dealing with this issue! Finally, my tax dollars at work!
