Sorry MB... Sometimes we rant and work for solutions for things that are unique to our particular situation. I recently had server-related issues that I brought to this forum - thinking PM was the problem... when it wasn't.
In the decade I've used PM... I never had the issue you describe. I have found some helpful people here and the CTM folks have always been available and fair-minded from my experience.
