Called Wachovia early this morning to reorder checks. In the process, I must have hit a button I wasn't supposed to.
The next thing I hear is a recording. "As of November First, all emergency procedures will be in place, and all Wachovia personnel should stay with their families. If you have any questions, please contact your Sector Supervisor."
Now, I'm not a nut, but the next thing I know an operator came on the line and asked me, by name what they could help me with. Got me looking over my shoulder, and I don't have nerves, just nerve.
THANKS FOR THE CONFIRMATION of that point.
Much appreciated.

Here, let me spell it out for you...
What scared Shadowstrike the most was that the “knew his name” when the agent picked up his call. What came 60 or so posts into the thread is his admission that he entered his SSN/Acct # during the origination of the call - WHICH, alerted the agent to who he was.
That’s the “logical lunacy” of this thread... Everyone is so ‘big brother’.
Biblical or Spritual Leader references have NOTHING to do with Wachovia mistakenly posting a test message on their Voice Response system and then having the gall to know, by name, who is calling them.
This thread is an example of the lunacy that makes FR look bad in the eyes of the general public.
1. That you remember... Selective memory /rhetorical
2. Problems that occurred where MINOR compared to what was crowed about on this very forum. Gas/Oil was not going to flow, Nuclear plants where going to go in meltdown.
3. I answered this above.
4. I don’t find your paranoia “attractive in the least”, but then again I’m not a paranoid person who believes that I can do anything to stop the world from ending. I am prepared to meet and be judged by God.
5. Yes, I am underwhelmed because of the audacity of your posts exclaiming paranoia.
You seem to have conveniently ignored that I pointed out in my first response to this thread
that caller ID could have easily identified him.
IT IS AN ASSUMPTION that
THE GREATEST
alarm to Shadowstrike was that the person knew who he was.
Shadowstrike did not assert that it was that or that there was an emergency plan or that November was involved.
ASSUMING—like that—is dumb.
Jumping to conclusions and brazen assumptions about paranoia without adequate information and research is just as dumb.
And . . . as the old poster asserted . . . just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that they are NOT out to get you.
If YOU are ignorant of these quotes:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2519352/posts?page=2#2
and the realted plans, schemes and accomplishments of our fearless leaders so represented these last 110 years,
Then probably we don’t have sufficient shared vocabulary, experience, information and understanding to have a useful dialogue.
Content of the post indicates the question is: what is going to happen after Nov 1 that Wachovia knows about that we don't? Hence, the paranoids came out in full force to assert "Martial Law", Big Brother this and Big Brother that, and Spiritual Leaders all have said the world is going to end soon so this must mean that Wachovia knows... Which is why I posted that this thread needs to stop.
"but the next thing I know an operator came on the line and asked me, by name what they could help me with. Got me looking over my shoulder, and I don't have nerves, just nerve."
Yes, you posted a guess that caller ID could be the source of the name, but as a person who supports these types of systems that would not be the case. I knew immediately that an acct # or SSN was entered via the phone. Secondly, his post was all about the fact that his name was used (note the bold text and his emphasis on the word "nerve"). Nowhere in his first paragraph about the unusual message did he use bold text.
But you're right, I'm just dumb and cannot have a dialog with you because I am dumb and don't know what you know, or is it that I'm dumb and I don't have a grasp of the English language. Did I fail to understand that you think I'm dumb? Talk about brazen assumptions...
THX THX.
Feel free to point out my errors publically or FREEPMAIL.
Yes, you jumped to yet another conclusion.
I said that certain ASSUMED conclusions were dumb—to me—they were.
I don’t consider you as a person dumb. You seem to be well above average in IQ.
I appreciate your clarifications above, it softens my understanding of your seemingly brazen and flip assumptions, a bit.
There’s tons of stuff about looming martial law.
It is IGNORANT, DUMB, CLUELESS to be out of the loop about THAT TON OF INFO.
A 100% of it is not paranoid cluelessness. SOME OF IT IS SOLID, VALID, TRUE, PREDICTIVE, WORTH PAYING ATTENTION TO.
Exactly what % and which specifics is a whole nother mess to figure out.
Throwing around the term paranoid as you have is, to me, very ignorant and dumb. It is also professionally inaccurate.
FR is the premier conservative site for good reasons.
It is foolish for FR to be BEHIND THE CURVE IN COLLECTING, SORTING, FILTERING, COMMENTATING ON, RESEARCHING, VERIFYING, RANKING ETC.
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD INVOLVE SERIOUS IMPACTS ON OUR REPUBLIC, OUR PERSONS, OUR FAMILIES, OUR JOBS, OUR WAY OF LIFE.
SOME of the silliness about FR’s reputation because of “paranoid” folks is more destructive to FR’s purposes and goals than the worst of the paranoid folks bring about.
Yep, I didn't know anyone still used checks. Did you tell the CSR you only needed enough to make it to Nov?
Sounds like Zot to me
