So this happened last night.
Thankfully, THAT is a telecommunication wire and not electrical power. So I popped out there at a little past 8 am with the chainsaw, took 40 minutes to make 4 cuts though: because we apparently do not have a single head, grounded extension wire longer than 10 feet. Most of that time was marching back and forth trying to get power to our little electric chainsaw. Did it though.
So now I have a bifurcated tree laying in my yard, and yet another job to add to the chore list.
At least I get to play with the chainsaw.

It was more than likely the job of the telecom. They would have checked to see if the service was still active (it was, the wire was holding the weight well.) and then prioritized it low and told us not to touch it out of fear of liability. It would then have taken a week or more for them to send someone to clean it up because montreal is STILL cleaning up from the ice storm six weeks ago and those tools, workers and services are in high demand right now.
As it stands, it's not only down and away from the wire: it's been butchered and stacked.
I've got enough pictures of it though, I could probably send bills to both videotron (whom is responsible for the wire.) and our neighbour (whom was responsible for the tree.) and get away with it.
It's not all bad though. It's a nice day out, and I got to play with the chainsaw twice.

I've never had a MySpace account, so I guess I get one point. Even if it's more deliberate choice than not having the opportunity.

Same, except my 1 point is for not having an AOL email, but as with you, that was by choice, not opportunity.
3 points for me. No myspace, no aol, and missed having to pay for stuff with a paper check by probably less than a year. I had a checkbook, I mostly used it to give employers the sample check for direct deposits back in the day.
Me either. IIRC I was mostly on LiveJournal around the time MySpace blew up.
Also, I paid someone with a paper check on Tuesday.
I think I'm at two points, AOL and MySpace.
...unless they made you create an email when you used one of those demo discs. Then I might have had one, and completely forgot about it.
