111508 -
111509 - Today, Bruce suggests the customer remove the "catchall" that forwards
111510 - mail incorrectly addressed to welchco.com, rather than return to

111523 - not requested, nor disclosed by Earthlink, in setting up service on
111524 - 010502, ref SDS 41 QR6F, nor in any Earthlink correspondence, then
111525 - this is a mistake that should be corrected by Earthlink, not the
111526 - customer.  On the other hand, Bruce has been helpful, especially on
111527 - 010511, when other Earthlink staff were unable, or unwilling, to
