the importance of being thorough

Called SBC/AT&T to have them run their tests again before I closed the case, and sure enough, they still show a short in the line. Going to call them once more before they come out on Wednesday, in case it clears up [they say it might be due to weather], but they agreed that it was a good thing I didn't just close the case once I had a dial-tone.

Sometimes being a paranoid anal-retent pays off...
