Apparently there's no single thing we can do that will work for all systems--they've designed too many ways to thwart us--but one thing that often seems to work for me is to repeatedly punch the O key; after awhile many systems get confused because it's not one of the options they're programmed to try to force us to choose among and so they bump you upstairs to a human.
tho sometimes--arrogant robots--they disconnect you because you're not making sense--in their terms of sense of course, not in human terms of sense.
And the bastards do it the way I dismiss door to door people.
It is so cool and final....my feelings get hurt.
ah, deb, I'm sure anybody whose feelings you hurt deserves to have them hurt.
