Joe For the record...I was a little overambitious with my answer below. I usually try to read the messages and digest before responding but my emotions got the best of me and I blurted out a quick response. The *real* answer is that the refund mechanism is not as black and white as I have painted the picture to be. There are complex layers involved in the refunding mechanism proposed by NeuLevel. Soo...if I may refer back to my post on the list yesterday...I will wait to announce complete details of the entire process when I have as much of the story as possible. I would rather be as comprehensive in my answer and thereby provide all of the necessary details that everyone is looking for.
