    “Also” doesn’t make sense in context.

    I think this miscommunication is more on you for taking it as an attack towards yourself when it was pretty clearly suspicious towards at&t, not you. In the future, I suggest trying to read things as charitably as possible. It will make forums a much more pleasant place if you don’t immediately assume aggression based on pretty innocuous words.

      I didn’t see it as an attack. I saw it as very poor communication. “Also” would have worked way better as it would have been a “yes, and” instead of a literal “but.” I’m all about charitable readings. That’s why I didn’t attack them but pointed out their choice in wording. It was, as pointed out, snarky, not defensive.

        At&t lost a bunch of people’s SSNs

        Why do they even have SSNs to lose?

        To check for terrorism

        (Also/but) that doesn’t mean they need to store it.

        Be honest. Which word actually makes sense?
