Anecdote:

For 4 months or so, we never got any of the stuff we were supposed to
get (software updates, etc).  Then one day, a level n>2 person verified
my address.  My address is:

University of Houston -- Deptartment of Mathematics
PGH 651
4800 Calhoun
Houston, Tx 77204.

They had:

UH
568
4800 Calhoun
Houston, tx
	  77004

Hm.  You tell me.  After a *week*, they finally got the address right.

They mangled the correct address into something from hell.  Now
they've got it right.  Anyone wanna bet how long it is before it
gets mangled again?
