Thank you Mr. Nikita.
I have been on a similar line of thought for a few years, but every time I tried to express these thoughts I have been accused of being agains innovation, which I am not. So thank you for writing this. I will quote you when trying to make my point.
Software that requires constant updates should not be considered a finished product.
The fact that a system receives constant updates is more a symptom that Q.A. needs to be improved and more work needs to be done before the release of commercial software.
Not needing constant updates should be considered a requirement. Not to be confused with needing updates and not receiving them.
Let's all stop using beta software and paying for it. Apparently windows 7 is now finished.
I agree, T-mobile is the way to go
As a foreigner who had the chance to live in Seattle for 2 years, I faced a similar situation, and found out that while AT&T wouldn't offer any soltions, T-Mobile was a lot more friendly with international travelers.
So you can use that as an excuse to delete it as soon as you realize it is not intended for you and not feel bad about it.
Not that I think confidentiality laws could get you in any trouble, it's just what I tell my self to not feel guilty about immediately deleting and filtering this kind of mails that I also get in my also rather mistakable gmail address
