Zippy,

Don't be fooled. That reply is still a "robotic" one. It looks like these senators have been coached into giving out some sort of "cut-and-paste" reply to anyone that demands or requests a more in depth response.



Look both here and in the Boa forums and I guarantee you that I've seen that exact same response (word for word) in a couple other posts over the last few days.



Keep at it. Even if they continue to stone wall you at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you are getting under their skin. Plus, like I've said before, you never know if your words will be the ones that change their minds by showing them a viewpoint that they hadn't considered.



Try to look at this from their perspective and you'll perhaps you'll find an effective way to get through to them. After all, it's blatantly obvious that they aren't trying to look at it from our point of view so we have to be the ones to step up to the plate and pry open the lines of communication any way we can.
