Re: Cathy O'Connor of paypal?

Oh most certainly,  I have spoken to several customer support 
representatives and supervisors.
The amazing thing is how  many tell me that
1, they have no one to  report accessibility related issues, have never 
heard of ms O'Connor, and that Paypal has no dedicated  staff who are 
responsible for access.
and
2, customer service no longer has direct contact with technical support 
either, there is an e-mail process but this has no assurance that the 
issue is actually addressed.
These changes  sliding further and further away from inclusion  have been 
happening in stages for a couple of years now at least.
I feel sure there is an entire file  full of customer service contacts on 
my Canadian account, more than one on the American side, with a laundry 
list of wacg 2.0 related problems
Did your kindly listening in sources say otherwise then what I am 
presenting here?
