While on a service-for-payment basis, of course the money is theirs to earn what it can - but from the effective date of a credit, at least, in-fact ownership should return to the purchaser, and it should be treated as a loan, interest rate determined by previous agreement in the ToS, until the date the original owner has real possession of those funds. I don't know, the accounting necessary to sort out that ROI would be staggering, maybe that's why the policies don't cover an assumed standard rate of return. But I'm not convinced, the numbers are all being processed already. Perhaps a automatic penalty for delay (or at least loss of benefit from delay) in this fashion would cause a bit more promptness on the part of accounts payable?

The refund due to me is too small for me to waste so much time with their support team. I've given up but it drives me crazy to think how many others have lost out and how all those small amounts add up big for comcast. Hope it works out for you.

I hadn't seen that one before. I do have a few thoughts about this poem, if you're curious: <a href="http://www.ashokkarra.com/2008/01/birth-of-a-nation-on-yeats-easter-1916/" rel="nofollow">analysis of Easter, 1916</a>. But I know next to nothing about the actual historical impact of the poem; I just muse, perhaps, on what it aspires to be.
