	Miss, I don't give a flying... Never mind.  Miss, your public whining 
over not having been allowed to use a piece of equipment you didn't pay for 
has removed a longstanding and useful net asset from usability.  As such, I 
don't really care if you found the lack of response upsetting or not.  Hell, 
if you had gotten a response you probably would have been in here screaming 
about unsolicited EMail.

	In other words, buzz off.  You are going to find few people here 
willing to listen to your whining.

Regards,
    The Gentleman
