Hi Bob,

    Glad to hear you had a more positive experience. People tend to be
    nicer face-to-face. Its great that you can go there in person and get
    the royal treatment. Most of us don't have that luxury, and have to
    deal with them via phone, where relative anonymity seems to allow the
    deterioration of otherwise accepted norms of customer service. 

    The contrast between your experience and mine serves to illustrate
    that unless you find a way to  "endear" yourself to them, you can
    take a hike, as far as they're concerned.  And I have. 

    Life is to short to deal with ornery vendors! 

All the best,

Dave
