RE: Metalink Response ....FYI

Ruth,

Thanks, your perception matches mine. See, in particular,(3) below. And although I certainly appreciate your expression of concern/support, it is Metalink's job, not mine that I am sharply disappointed with.

Fortunately, it is still politically correct to express sharp disappointment at the foibles of big business! <G>

Thanks again!

Regards,

• Ross
