Tom, I agree with you that I think it was a rather bone-headed move on their part - although maybe they have some other reason that they haven't divulged - but I doubt they'll fix it since they documented that this is the way it is. Nonetheless, I'll send in a request for them to fix it along with the TSO one, once I get my head above water.
