A copy of the email in which I politely ask woot to stop sucking. (And their reply)<\/p>\n

=========================================================================<\/p>\n

Dear suck-of-a-woot<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Here I am thinking it’s kind of lame that I sign up for an account near the end of a woot! deal, only for your system to tell me (once I enter all of my info after<\/em> multiple subsequent page loads and an exhausting exercise in speed-typing data-entry) that the deal is over, despite the fact that I began signing up LITERALLY less than 1 minute before it expired (the website said I could get the deal for the next minute). <\/p>\n

So, now I’ve decided I’d rather not deal with a company that ropes me in to things without being forthright, and lo and behold, what do you know? I can’t delete my account. <\/p>\n

You guys are what is wrong with the internet. You and LinkedIn. *shudder*<\/p>\n

Please. Delete my account now. <\/p>\n

By the way, 1999 called and they want their backwards “customer-retention” philosophies returned promptly. They’re running out of bozos to bankroll the tech-boom bubble.<\/p>\n

What, no witty reply to my charming banter? I guess that voice is reserved for the stuff they’re trying to hock on the cheap. Shucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
