There's a movie quote somewhere that says: *I think we're alone*......

In other words, don't expect much from the Powers That Be unless
you're into petitions and making a lot of noise And I mean A LOT of
NOISE. There's strength in numbers. If enough people complain - LOUDLY
in the right direction - maybe something will move. But really, don't
count on on it because you could be waiting a long time. Best bet
GOOGLE it - because there's always someone, somewhere who's been there
before and found a solution.
