none. I don't think so.
If there are Indian natives on the list, I apologise in advance, because as
a member here, you are certainly above average. Otherwise, that country's
phone people are the most uninformed, arrogant non-english speakers I've
ever dealt with. Our own schools' self esteem programs must have been
exported to Indian phone bank workers.
I'm sure some Indian people are good, hard working experts, but those that
man the SBC phone banks are not worth the oxygen they consume, and the only
people worse are the SBC people that hired them.
