Problem quickly solved, nerves calmed

Spoke to a real person who smoothly guided me through a problem I was in a panic over. I couldn't understand why my website was out of space but she quickly resolved it by pointing out that there were numerous duplicate backups that needed to be deleted. I was relieved to get someone on the phone so quickly who was as efficient as she was patient with a low tech person like me.
