Users shouldn't confuse them not doing this with not listening - I suspect it is pure business economics. What drives me mad is when companies like eBay and PayPal, who charge for a service can't be bothered providing easy to access support. I'm experiencing this first hand at the moment with Billmelater. Some criminal managed to use my wifes name to set up an account - wrong social security number, wrong birthdate but her name. Now, PayPal and Billmelater clearly operate a pretty weak fraud and risk process because the crook was able to run up a good chunck of purchases. And what did they do then, referred it on to a collections agency who insists on harrassing people rather than solving the problem with Billmelater and eBay.

The Measurement Standard: Blog Edition. Daphne Gray-Grant's Rapid Writing It's April. And in many parts of the world that means only one thing: Tax season. (Cue scary music.) This means I've been busy flattening out crumpled bits of paper, desperately trying to locate missing receipts, and wondering, why, exactly, I spent $169.95 at Office Depot on August 19, 2013.

But finally, after more than a week of alternating between despair ("this is awful; I'll never get it done") and giddiness ("hey, my columns actually balanced!
