Argh, Here's the quick background: My friend moved into my apartment. He had Comcast at his old place and when he cancelled they told him his e-mail could be atatched to my account so he could keep it. I called Comcast to set that up today and they said no way. The two stories I got were 1) It takes three months for addresses to be released and 2) Addresses, once used, are NEVER available again, regardless if the owner cancels their account. Either way there is an admin over there that could make this happen. But Comcast refuses. Even when I told them I would cancel over this issue (my cancel date is scheduled for the 17th) they refused to do it. This is such BS. I've worked for two ISP's, one a small local outfit, and the other in that national top 10 in terms of subscribers, and I've seen little unusual requests like this come up, and I've never seen them turned down. Basically, I don't want to cancel my Comcast service. Verizon is the only alternative, and it's not a great one. I was hoping people had suggestions for me. Thanks for any help you can give. -joe
