I have often felt that someone who cares so little or needs such ego massaging as to make a difficult-to-use commercial website is probably demonstrating the care they would put in to their product or service. Anyway, it would make me ask more questions - including "why do you dis your customers in your web site". ////jerry > > I don't mean to ridicule your principles, I merely mean to point out that > in my opinion it's not always as black and white as you make it seem. > > Alphons > > -- > All right, that does it Bill [Donahue].
