What do you think? > > --Mike It is my understanding of the law that they ripped you off!! You can not contract if you do not know about it. They are REQUIRED to tell you if they are going to charge you for something. They are a rip-off anyway.... sorry about that. _I_ would nail 'em, but you may decide it is not worth the trouble. anyway-at least several of us now know what a rip-off R.S. is. -Antony A.
