  on Once Again With Feeling: Cord Cutting Is Not A 'Myth'

  I would drop Comcast ($130/mo) in a heartbeat if I could figure how to do it.

  So, how do I do it?

  As a fan of Yelp

  on Florida Moving Company Attempting To Sue Its Way Back To Yelp Respectability

  1. I like Yelp and think it is a valuable service.
  2. I have written 698 reviews on Yelp.
  3. I visit many businesses on Yelp every day.
  
  This warning by Yelp is very unusual. These moving company idiots had to work to get this warning.
