A Gripe Line reader forwarded the following memo about MPC to me last night. There is no announcement on this at MPC's Web site (yet), and my e-mails to my contact at MPC on this -- or any -- message have, so far, gone unanswered. Nor can I find any news announcements about this. So I have no additional confirmation. This memo -- from a sales rep to his customers -- is full of potentially very useful information for all of you affected by this MPC situation. So here is the memo as I received it, with some more personal regrets from the author to his customers removed:

"We only have two days to e-mail our customers before they turn us off. Even though we are officially no longer employed as of today. Our phones will also be shut off on or by Wednesday.
"They gave us very little information. Here is what we know:
I will, of course, post anything new I hear. If you have any information, please send it so I can share with other readers.
