## Virgin Mobile SMS Assault
Beginning last Wednesday 9/1, and continuing as of 5:55 on 9/10, every SMS I send becomes 20+ messages assailing the recipient.

I don't have time to detail every time I've seen this pattern occur over the last week and a half but it's definitely harming my friends (a text at 3am, then one at 4am, then 5 in a row at 6am) and my relationship with them.

People are calling me asking me to make it stop, writing on my Facebook Wall (http://bit.ly/9uC35E), *turning off their phones*. Anything they can think of to make the pain stop. What's worse is that, often, if they send me a text asking me to stop, they get the offending text sent 3 times in response. That'll teach them to resist.

This isn't just an "inconvenience" to me. It's outright harm. Even more for the friends I made the mistake of texting.

While making it stop is the first priority, it cannot be your only response. I should be credited (I also received no texts for 60 hours) some amount and something should be done to make amends with the real victims of this.

You've generated plenty of ill will with this, think hard about how to create some good will in their minds.
