I don’t think that the University of Alabama in Huntsville got the message. Jump to UWebD and eduStyle for additional commentary. This is definitely more than just a case of borrowed design ideas, colors, grid, etc. Brown’s stylesheet is named “master.css”. UAH’s is named “master2.css.” The HTML looks like a badly synthesized genetic clone. [...] […] Umm. I don’t think that the University of Alabama in Huntsville got the message.

Although the address cited several times in previous comments is PO Box 6057, Dearborn MI, 48121, the United agent on the phone today gave me PO Box 6046 as the destination. I cannot find any PO Box confirmation on the United web site, so I'll cross my fingers that 6046 is going to get me to the right place. The flight for which they let me use $100 voucher is to Las Vegas on Sept. 3, and they let me pick my own flight time without restriction. For what it's worth, I did have a positive customer experience... That is, as long as the dude gave me the right PO Box. I truly am surprised that United has not responded to this thread or reached out to you, Eric -- a Google search for 'United Airlines certificate Dearborn' provides you as the top search result. Cheers. Just submitted a $100 United voucher for reimbursement today via mail, now kicking myself for not just going to airport after reading the above comments.
