I think it's a plus to have customers complain to the CEO when they
can't get their customer service issues addressed. If we want to
get into the information age and out of the paper mail age, we better
not use these tools to make it harder for customers. I'm disappointed
to hear that Gates feels he has to hide behind technology and
obscurity, this seems to be counter to what he preaches.
Bill, What's your opinion?
