    I agree. Can't just sit around and wait if you do not hear back. Stay on
    top of it, call them back if there is a time problem like that and let
    someone know about it so it can delt with, just like anywhere else. Who
    knows, things happen and it may not have been an intentional error. And
    basing "Support sucks" on one incident it hardly fair.
