How right you are..were...

I had cc'ed the same message to the FlashNet Webmaster, who IMMEDIATELY 
removed the entire statement from their web site, and sent me a note of 
apology.

Kudos to L.E. Heath (Webmaster) and FlashNet for such quick action and 
response.

Big fat raspberry to Preston in Support, who wouldn't know customer service if 
it bit him on his hiney! Hmm..amazing that to Preston, it was not misleading 
in the slightest, but to the webmaster it warrented complete removal, rather 
than merely changing it...
