That was the easiest mechanism available to us. That's life.

OK. I have no problem in reconsidering this 'ban' and leaving you on the list
if you wish to stay. Maybe I may have been a little hasty and perhaps 'you'
were just the unfortunate last straw at the end of a number of comments I had
been reading over the last few months.
We are always happy to support our customers in whatever ways we can but
I am sure you can understand how we get fed up with sniping comments from
time to time from those who just wish to be time wasters.
