Thanks for the lesson! I guess we were dreaming every time some other vendor was convinced to give us documentation! But Craig, it's the same with women. They'll only hang out with you if they feel there is enough positive vibe in you. And since you so clearly show that you are a pessimist at heart, you're out of luck too! If you keep saying something good won't happen -- well then you can bet it won't happen.
