- which some of us know is the LAST place you'll ever get RB "support".

My guess is that a "stealth" operation is in progress to get rid of RB, and any cries of outrage will be ignored or met with the "We told you well in advance" excuse.

Those RB posts prior to 1 Jan 03 that were deleted without warning, using the "we're updating" excuse, and RB never had any intention of restoring them.

It's like being nibbled to death by ducks - it isn't really painful, but the end result is the same.
