That is encouraging at least :-)
Many of the ones I find are in Asia somewhere, and once I determine that
I usually just go on to the next one.

Usually after sending in a notice I will see that the problem was fixed
a few days later, but I'll never get a responce back.  I know the reason
for that here: complaints are bounced around between departments until
they get to the person in charge of the offending machine, but by then
the original contact has usually been removed.
