I agree, yet they seem to serve a purpose. >Why don't they just set someone in their organization to >cover their emails for them? That would seem to be the >better part of customer service, I would think. I couldn't agree more with you. Unfortunatly the reality of today is that it is just not going to happen. We ourselves are a publicly funded institute. Due to government cutbacks there is never a replacement worker for someone unless the position demands a human being at the desk. As for emails, they forward or use automated messages or hand out their password. Security wise the forward or automated message is prefered and giving someone access to your email is just not recomended. ================================= Kevin W.
