As a professional I have to disagree with this assessment; disconnecting may not prevent the user from turning into a Hell-Beast and sprinting for the roof where he/she risks being called rude names by Bill Murray. Worse, the user may be subjected to a series of very bad sequels.

We fully respect your professional and wise advice and would not dissuade it from being taken. However my suggestion merely reflects our responsibilities with regards to continue connection of the phone/internet service (i.e. not disconnecting the fridge at that particular time sometimes causes bandwidth reduction). Matters relating to possession and incursion into the universe by apocalyptic mythologies is an entirely separate subsidiary of Montsnmags Enterprises.

Bill Murray is a completely independent agent, not permanently contractable at any price, and we accept no responsibility for any of the sequels.

I like the soundtrack song Hot Night by Laura Branigan. So sad she's gone.

Cheers,
Marc
CEO - Montsnmags Enterprises

Just in case it is me though, then I assure you that Diethyl Ethernet Industries (a wholly owned subsidiary of Montsnmags Enterprises) stands by its product 100%...literally...our data risk management plan involves mirrored copies not only of all infrastructure, but every employee. To offset the cost of doubling our Human Resources budget we have extracted each employee's evil twin from this particular universe's mirror universe and, with the help of the skilled hoard of undead that is our legal team, obtained declarative judgements that we only have to pay each pair once, as they are the same person (evil/good attributes aside).

Your local phone and internet connection is 100% guaranteed from all non-Lovecraftian dropouts, though if you start to hear strange, deep utterances of the word "ZUUL" coming from your fridge, we recommend disconnecting at the wall socket.

We are grateful to have you as a customer, and hope you enjoy your service. Should you have any further enquiries, please contact the provided Squirrel Support number, and eleventy, small, furry, IT technicians (dressed in the usual "pirate-ninja" attire) will instantly appear within your living room to resolve and eradicate your complaint...err, problem.

Marc, here's a quote I just came upon this week. Enjoy:

.....We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.
..........— Robert Wilensky (1951 - ), American academic. Quoted in Mail, "Quotes of the Week", Sunday, February 16, 1997.

I found that quote in The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations, ed. by Elizabeth Knowles.

Whattya mean, the "NICE Marc"? Are you casting aspersions on our Marc? Well, as long as those aspersions are nastertiums and not rotten tomatoes, I guess you're ok. But we rather like our Marc just the way he is, ya know?

That wasn't spam... can't you recognize gaelic when you see it? (No, me either. Just play along. He's safer when he stays tame.)

'Struth!! We have indeed found out that it isn't true. The numbers must be reaching the level of proof by now.

Don't make me poke my tongue out at you, because I'm just crazy enough to do it, and then where will you be, Mister Smartyloons?

I'm posting from my Kindle now. It is already bedtime ;23.37. It is doable , although I have my screen in landscape so typing is a bit akward. But it can be done if one really wants to join a groupe of friends on the internet, for example.
