Unless, of course, we are dealing with the sicko 3rd option.
eGeezer, you are correct, except that Jenifer DID blatantly lie to us. Whether willingly or by order of her bosses, we'll probably never know. And I don't really think it matters, either. Astak's track record is getting worse and worse. We now have confirmation that they treat their employees horribly (and this an employee who tirelessly promoted their product, on the job and off of it, which in my book makes it even more inexcusable); they apparently have no compunction about lying to their customers to save their reputation (which didn't work - this time - but how much other stuff have they fed us that wasn't true since RobertB left?) ; and to top all that off, they also apparently think it's fine to keep their customers in the dark and feed them carefully metered fertilizer (aka the mushroom syndrome). Doesn't say much for what they expect our collective intelligence levels to be, does it now?

For the record: I find this to be not only unacceptable behavior, but also inexcusable and insulting to my intelligence.
