No. Mandating real people won't help. I've dealt with real support people who are exactly as useless as the website's FAQ. They're powerless to make any special exceptions to the predefined process or even to escalate to someone who can.

You mean your Geocities homepage which got a fabulous 121 hits in 1997? ;)

She is certain this is a mist…
