Profiles going away!?
Did everyone else get this e-mail from Netflix:
" We wanted to let you know we will be eliminating Profiles, the feature that allowed you to set up separate DVD Queues under one account, effective September 1, 2008."
Why?
"While it may be disappointing to see Profiles go away, this change will help us continue to improve the Netflix website for all our customers."
Okay, how does Profiles going away improve Netflix? Am I the only one in household with multiple people each of whom want a different queue for tracking, rating, reviews, etc. Furthermore, according to the FAQ, there's no way to even transfer a Profile to a new separate account. So that means if you spent time rating tons of movies under one profile, all of that is lost! This seems like a huge disruption of service. In what way is this good? And there's not even any way I can see to match the equivalent functionality once they go away.
This to me is a huge negative change to the service for no visible reason.

Where did you see this? If that's true, you're absolutely right - time to ship off.
Saw it here
hackingnetflix.com
No need to complain here any more? These people aren't listening. We prolly ought to just cancel and stop complaining here, huh?

"And I wanted to add this, for what it's worth: my mailman told me that the Post Office HATES Netflix because 3/4 (and he said he wasn't exaggerating) of the envelopes get jammed in the mail-sorting machinery and then human intervention is required. "
uh, postman is wrong. NO NF envelopes are EVER supposed to go into the sorters. NF pays a special rate & sorts them by zip themselves so that they don't go in the machine sorters. so when your discs break - blame the postal employee who put them thru when they are never ever supposed to.

If enough people cancel memberships they may see their error, or I might just discover that the competition is just better all around.

Hehe! can't tell what that word is that begins with F. Looks like a bunch of gobbledy-gook to me.

For everyone that leaves, it will make it that much easier for those who stay to receive their movies that were on Long Wait.

Oh they're not going a damn place and they know it. If they do, they'll be back 2 mos. later when they realize they are paying more for more limited service, max rental limits, and dealing with BB in general. Besides, these are people too lazy to call customer service, I really don't see them getting motivated to actually cancel.
