MVPs aren't Microsoft Employees. They are not on the Mac BU development team. They *might* have some more pull in getting the developers to deal with bugs because of their relationship with the team during the beta-test. But they can't acknowledge a bug in any official sense and cannot fix it for you. Therefore, when you bring up a problem on a public list that is not an official source of support, the only thing they can offer you is a work-around or a suggestion to do it "Microsoft's way!" Getting snippy for doing exactly what is in their power to do isn't even mean...it's plain nasty. -Remo Del Bello -- "Yet even the most subtle spiders may leave a weak thread." - Gandalf the Grey in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
