        Hi Chris,
        
        Personally, if my office and everyone in it was conceivably in peril of
        imminent destruction by raging inferno I don't think I'd let my account
        rep 'gloss over' the problem.
        
        Do you not like your co-workers?  :)
        
        Take care,
        
        Cael
