One of the things which struck me very funny about this whole
interaction was that although it was hotly debated, they never
actually bothered to write me about it until almost Christmas after
three months.  I guess they are all so arrogant they figure everyone
reads their stupid mailing lists.

Once they did contact me I fixed the problem within a day.  Go
figure.  So folks would rather bitch than communicate.
