Ruth,
Thanks, your perception matches mine. See, in particular,(3) below.
And although I certainly appreciate your expression of concern/support,
it is Metalink's job, not mine that I am sharply disappointed with.
Fortunately, it is still politically correct to express sharp
disappointment at the foibles of big business! <G>
Thanks again!
Regards,
- Ross
