I do a 1/2 flush. and they even make toilets that have the option of a
#1 flush. Save water!
they say someday there may be wars over water.
Can't live w/o it.

I have a Compuserve account that I'm not using now.

However, I have heard that there may be some resistance to just
saying, "Please Stop."

This is especially worrying since it has a monthly automatic
payment from my checking account.

I have heard that CompuServe has a reputation of failing to shut
off service when asked politely. This is apparently a legacy
from AOHell. They apparently just keep slapping your bank
account with the debit.

Apparantly, they don't respond well to online requests to stop.
And they need a phone call to a CSR who has a financial incentive
to retain the customer (and keep billing, on and on...)

Perhaps there is some way to move the billing to a prepaid Visa
card, and then fail to top up that card? Thus resulting in
termination of service?

But would this result in some kind of collection agency action?
