My list wasn't that long. I'm still not finished with it. But I should have
captured all the important addresses by tomorrow. People don't make this
change lightly and ISP's know it. So, they tend to take you for granted.
When I called to cancel with Mindspring, they asked me if I had a problem with
any particular person in tech support. My reply was : "No, it's your whole
setup."
The other task associated with all of this was changing my GPG key. But I did
that too.
