Hundreds of calls and meetings. When does one work on the product? I'm a bit disillusioned by the apparent focus on funding over product in the valley. I hope it is a misconception of mine.

The unsubscribe link in the marketing email took me to this page directly. The marketing email was targeted to existing customers.

OP here. I sent them a tweet, and they replied with a link to a complaint form that - guess what - required me to enter my account number :)

But they want my Credit Card + Bank Account No + Cellphone no. This is a link that was in the email. My first instinct was that this was a phishing email. Then when the link appeared genuine, I guessed its their way to discourage me from unsubscribing.

One of the great advantages of third world countries - good education is cheap. A student at a top rated engineering school (iit/nit) in India pays less than ~$2k/year in tution, and about ~$200/month in other expenses. Sure, even this is not affordable to everyone without loans, but the salaries these people draw make the ROI tremendous. No wonder these schools are so hard to get into.

Now I feel quite stupid that I got pretty lost and overwhelmed in the Moscow Subway System when using it the first time. I had a printout of the map, don't speak/read/understand the language and had no internet connection. I think the dogs win this one.
