   Someone send me the latest version of the Energizer bunny program that 
   everyone is talking about..._NOW_...

   Sorry...couldn't resist :)...just kidding

   But on a more serious note...

   Whadyall [sic...I'm trying to work on my Virginia accent] think would 
   happen if someone posted a 1-800 number for Energizer and refered all 
   requests for the program to them directly ? Think that might speed them
   up a bit and/or work out some sort of arrangement (possibly monetary)
   with Dean ?

   Just an idea...not an opinion.
