And, they       wouldn't list it as 'blocked', even though it has a set of locked gates.              So, restricted useage is as good as I'm gonna get.              They *said* they won't map anyone to use that road *unless* the location is       *on* that road.              It kind of makes sense, so I didn't fight them, as they seemed to be       wanting to do the right thing, within "their" rules of how they do things.              As I recall, it was all fixed and done in a couple of weeks.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
