每隔3天会收到Dreamhost的提醒邮件。

due until 2007-02-28), with181.32 due (since 2007-01-28).

You also have 181.32 past due (owed since 2006-12-28), and if
by 2007-02-28 you do not pay at least the181.32 part, your
account will be automatically suspended until payment is received.

Log in if you need to, then click the “close this account” link. If you close
your account you won’t be charged $181.32 on 2007-02-28… please stay!

邮件意思是告诉你要付费了，但是如果你不想付费的话，那么可以点击这个链接，只要在那一天前关闭你的账号，就不会charge你一分钱的。这样的友情提示让我感觉不错，这份钱我得花，而且还花的心甘情愿。

不由对比一下国内的某些网络提供商，作的好的就是临近要付费的时候，给你来个电话提醒你该交钱了，你要是想不用他的服务了，行，自己上网找注销服务的页面去，十有八九在一个犄角旮旯里，隐蔽的特好，给你揪出来那叫一个不情愿，不是网络超时打不开页面，就是要提供这个复印件那个复印件，非整到你崩溃放弃不可。

这是作的好的，作的不好的呢，一个屁不放直接到时间扣你钱，搞到你被扣了好久才醒悟过来，心里痛骂哪个孙子干这事儿呢，脸上还得笑着请求他帮你把服务取消了。

都tm是人，差距咋就这么大呢。实诚点儿会死啊！
