I am sure it was not informative
Guess I am just too old and remember when business used logic to remedy a customer request
In this case Home Depot would have spent a lot of money to return the item
and offered no resolution that included customer satisfaction
I am sure the post was not a teaching moment
Except I now know how to spell Morse Code

Isn't it a lesser trouble if the email / phone number is just given to HD?
Time taken to delete unwanted mails, messages is much lesser than the waiting time there, isn't it?

I tend to agree
My initial approach to this issue was to give bogus email and phone number
but the Credit Card seems to have my phone number tied to it for fraud so not a practical idea
YES I can delete spam email except at the time I was not using Proton Mail
which in 3 years I have never had one spam e-mail
NOW if I want to communicate with a company I know will spam me I just create
a new Proton Mail email address and delete the email address after I am done with that company
I have used the White House Phone number or BBB but very seldom

Hmm. All I can say is that whoever is actually at "test@test.com" gets a lot of spam that people thought they were sending to me. Similarly 07555-555555 is one unlucky number. Much, much simpler than the hassle of not having comms at all.

Yes I have used my first ever email address when we had dial up
dwight@ezo.net company is out of business
Thought about a bogus phone number did not someone else to get a spam phone call

Hi All,
Being a child of the 80's I think SDI as Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars (Space lasers taking out commie nukes). I am bothered by this please tell me I'm not alone...

You are not alone. I'd have to google what else SDI could refer to.
Keep Calm and Carry On

You are definitely not alone; what else could SDI mean?

Is there a Hitchhiker refernce I have missed?

Not that I know of, just that when dealing with space lasers, I think it's a good idea to keep a towel handy. You never know...

Sorry, a little contex the widget I was playing with that had the SDI bus which was the cause of the question was a Trinmaic stepper motor control board.

For me SDI stands for Single Document Interface (the opposite of MDI). I blame it on my early days with Delphi.

I associate SDI with the name of a group of small, local convenience stores (long since closed): Super Drive In.

I have a C++/MFC SDI application whose development started in 1999 and I'm still maintaining. It was never a candidate for MDI.

What else does SDI mean? SDI was an excuse to hide all sorts of secret projects and apparently still is.
