I was all prepared to forget it until Hugo spoke up. I used much kinder
wording that that, but yes, that's basically what I said. I already
pointed out my reasoning and my dislike for the company in question.
Incidently, only one person confirmed the behavior, it seems the

am not alone.
Matter dropped. Thread closed for me.
