Who have you posted this as, and to what mailing lists? At this time, I
don't recall ever seeing you post something, but it may have been that I
was so busy that it slip'd me by...

Our experiences *up until this past week* was that any time we tried to
get somethign fixed, it was met with resistence, so we just said to hell
with it...

Obviously, there has been some mis-communications going on here...
