Shit I Hate About the Internet

Last year I paid for a one year Sitemeter account. Lately, I've been looking at that bill from APRIL OF LAST YEAR and thinking, hey, I wonder where my statement / renewal / anything is for this year because I want to cancel it.
Today, my mail answered that question. Without a statement, without warning, without so much as a fucking 'thankyouverymuch' email my credit card was charged back on April 27 just over $75.
I emailed and asked for a refund of my remaining 11 months.
What are you thinking the chances I'm setting up my very own 'beware' website and submitting it obsessively to every search engine on the planet soon?
$75 is worth quite a bit of my time, I think. $20 bucks, maybe not, but there's a threshold where you just can't be fucking with people, yanno?
I guess we'll have to wait and see. But if you've done the same so you can get all those really good stats - I'd check your first bill date and email them well before so you don't get screwed as well, considering there was no mention in any of the information and documentation of an automatically recurring charge.
