I like your answer but I think we as a group would be better served if; when a member of our "family" receives 'answers' such as this, we each and severally answer their arrogance/idiocy with the same answer as the aggrieved party. Eg.; my discourse with AMD over their oral fixation with Microsoft's nether regions. They only answered once, but they did answer. Sort of. If anyone wants a copy of the "response" tell me. To quote Heinlein: "Don't let the bastards grind you down." (I'd use the Latin phrase he did, but my Latin sucks. :> ), and; "Some people just have feet made for stepping on; step on them until _they_ apologize." That "answer" they sent you is grievously stupid and offensive Anne; and an obviously nice person such as you shouldn't have to deal with, or be forced to respond in such a manner, to such a mental midget as the drone that sent it. Nor should anyone else for all that. As a human being I am sometimes amazed and ashamed that this sort of thing occurs. Or that it's become so common as to be considered "normal." My condolences. Most of what's "wrong with the world today" seems to be due to the lack of politeness. Is that a word? It should be. I'll stop babbling now, sorry. I'm also sorry that you had to be treated in such fashion by a corporate idiot.
