>Tom, the reason for me to start thread #643062 was that several attempts to get in direct contact with James Saunders completely failed. My emails and 'private threads' - about a certain bug I found - to him were not answered at all (like sending something to a black hole indeed). I'm not sure what to think of that. My initial feelings are that it's simply impolite and arrogant of HIM (is 'arrogant' an english word?). But I felt not very sure about it and I wanted to check on this forum whether or not my feelings are correct. Perhaps it's just simply impolite of ME to try to get in direct contact with those very very busy MS Vips.

I assure you it has nothing to do with arrogance, but I may be guilty of the charge of being impolite. You received a reply from me about one of your posts on this past Monday, and I sent that reply to you without having seen your comments in this thread. I wouldn't say that it is impolite of you to contact me, nor will I pretend to be a Vip, but I agree with the very very busy part! <g>
