Oh, come on. I remember a fellow getting the message "Error in source

Now that's a utterly useless error message.
My favorite error message came from the telephone company's computer system.
"We're sorry. Your call cannot be completed as dialed. You must first dial
a 1 for the call to be completed.".
Ahhhh, if you knew I had to dial 1 then why not just tell me and then
complete the call for me?
Because that would convert a call which the original dialler
would not know was a toll call into a toll call, without getting
confirmation.

I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
