I think part of my misinformed impression stems from the fact that the
letter (at least forwarded to BOC-L) was addressed to Andy and CC: to
Doug, making it seem (incorrectly, it seems) that the letter was sent to
Andy and a copy to Doug, not the other way around.  I should not have
taken that at face value, I guess.  Next time I'm sent a "past due"
notice addressed to me and CC:d to the billing department, I'll assume
it's intended for them and not pay. ;-)

Like I said, that's not the way it appeared in the version that was
posted to BOC-L.  But at least now I know how it was supposed to be.

This is very welcome news indeed.  As long-time members on here can
attest, Andy is a good bloke, and some of the things of which he's been
accused publicly here recenty are wholly uncharacteristic.

That is true.  There are two sides to every story, and the truth lies
somewhere in between.

Cheers,

Paul.
