Good story. Good outcome. Shows what one persistent person can
do - at least sometimes. 

I can relate to the author trying to get assistance and finding himself 
adrift in oceans of fools that mostly wasted his time and money rather
than doing their job.  His persistence is pretty inspirational though. 

Still a good story - thanks for posting it.

PS: Mike - my two cents - turn what you have over to 'someone' and
at least give them the *chance* to do something with it. But its easy for
me to recommend that *you* do more still more work from *my*
seat :-)
