So you had a bad dealing with GVP.... sorry to hear that. I can tell you that my experience with GVP has been nothing short of wonderful. They were very responsive to my troubles, and handle my problem with professionalism that is difficult to find elseware. So you would wish them to go out of business?

It is part of the package whether you like it or not. Get it?
