Thanks Michael.  I really appreciate it.  I think I'll skip the screwing the examiner part. :^)

This thread turned from a pretty simple request to 'bashing a business ' due to legal association' .........that can only help abstractors....,......I never did nor plan to do anything BUT have a great relationship with search team. It makes sense for all concerned.

The venting on me was rather odd because it was from not one person I used as a searcher. Weird.
