Hi Dan - One never knows whe will generate the most comments.

Henry - I will look into it. I guess it will require a headset and a microphone.

Don Ray,

Get Skype (available for Linux) and those 800 numbers won’t cost you anything.

We use it mainly for talking with our boys in Idaho and England and it works fine.

Or was it MacDonalds and MacSatan?? I guess it’s been too long since I’ve had a Big Mc.

Hey Don,

Kind of reminds me of a post that you, or BoqueteGuide had, with a simple mention of McDonalds in David. Next thing you know every VeggieNut on earth was postiing angry replies about the evils of “McSatan”. Guess it just shows the power and speed of the internet.

Now, Panama vs. USA in soccer this weekend. A most troublesome decision….

Well, I gave them the method to get in touch with me so I am going to just sit tight for a while. I may call them the next time I am in the US since that will be a toll free call. I will put that on my “To Do” list.

Tom - in my past life I never worked in the banking side of our business. Granted I was involved with a lot of outsourcing which is what many companies are doing with their call centers.

Boy am I glad I am not fighting those day to day battles anymore.

Stephan,
Color me slightly skeptical. A number of years ago we ran a test trial with such a firm. We also seeded some web sites with negative information to see if the firm would uncover the info. They never found the information on new sites but did eventually find much of the data on established sites.
A more likely option that Don Ray didn’t touch on is that his email address uses the Chiriquichatter.net domain. They have his email address. I suspect that someone checked out the site based upon his email address & found the posting. Like I wrote earlier, I would ask them.

There is a number of companies offering other companies services to watch their name in the media and on the Internet. This ranges from dedicated web portals for consumers sharing their experiences up to search engine style market watch. It is even available to all of us: Google Alerts - your personal intelligence agency, as I would like to call that.

Don Ray,
Ask them next time you are in contact with them. BTW, it is hard to imagine they have a search engine looking for disparaging remarks about Chase on the Internet - they would be overwhelmed…

This is similar to the HSBC controversial suit against the individual in Panama that “slandered” them on the internet. I believe they were given a $5,000,000 judgment against him, but it is on appeal.

I am sure one of your readers will have more information than I do.
Free Speech?? Constitutional Rights??
