I'm doing my ISP, because I enjoy the industry and assisting people with
the technology that's available. I'm on this list because I enjoy the
information and banter that normally goes on.

Now (pardon the French) CATCH A FUCKING CLUE!

When all of us signed up for this mail list it was noted, repeatly, that
it is _NOT_ an official channel! You want to bitch moan and groan and
berate Livingston and its employees, then e-mail support@livingston.com or
sales@livingston.com etc. Quit using this as a channel for your
frustration as I'm sick and tired of all the whiney people...

Yes, I totally agree there is a beef with how Livingston is handling it
per se. Yet as MZ noted, he was not in the office and for the others the
peruse the list from Livingston, they may not have been allowed to give
any notification...either that or they are busy dealing with customers
calling them up for info.

And why don't you grow up and learn to take your own responsibilities.
Take your own initiative and contact Livingston directly...

Hell, if my UPS was acting up I'd take it off-line and get a
replacement... ;)

<pulpit>
[This goes out to everyone bitching, if you have an official complaint,
take it to Livingston directly, don't alienate anyone, especially the
Livingston employees who generously donate their time to answer question
on this list]
</pulpit>

Otherwise, I hope everyone is having a fine and dandy day! I know I am,
though I just had a cavity filled... 8(

Oh, well, Life goes on without you....
