Well, I have now received my first "rejection" to my complaining note--not objection--and thought you'd like to see it:

I can only speculate two things: a)not interested in rethinking its advertising support, or b)overloaded by folk like us and plowing ahead by ignoring us.

Either way, I'm not pleased.

If you've had similar replies to any of the companies you listed, please advise.

To my emails, I've received the usual canned reply from all I've sent. But that was last week. It could be that some of them are now getting overloaded.

There are still phone calls, faxes, snail mail.

Perseverance furthers.
