Agreed, the email bombing of MPS may not be such a good idea in retrospect.
It might be an idea of formulating what we actually want to say, be concise,
clear and to not use 'emotional' language.  After all, we want to be taken
seriously, which I fear will not be the case.

I had a rather unpleasant phone conversation today with an employee at MPS
UK.  It started out... difficult, to say the least. I've just bought TFTD on
CD, but have been having some problems, so I took the opportunity to phone
up and ask some questions.  The 'customer support' guy was blunt,
patronising and gave the overall impression that I was some kind of low
life, such was his attitude.  However, I persevered and a conclusion was
reached.  I then asked who I would need to speak or write to, to find out
about the rumours of a remake of the XCOM original[s].  He gave me some
nonsense regarding Interceptor and Alliance, but I explained the situation
and recent rumours.  I can only say his attitude became more condescending
and after several minutes of this, I terminated the call.   The attitude of
this individual reflects poorly on Microprose UK and also left me feeling
pretty mad and frustrated at being treated in such a manner.  I'm still
considering how to pursue this matter, but its certainly left me with a bad
taste in my mouth and very cynical towards Microprose now.  I hope those of
you in the US get better treatment than I did today at the hands of MPS UK.

I'm all for working on a format kind of email to forward to MPS, but so far
this thread appears to be ignored.  I'm wondering if any one else is
actually interested in pursuing the matter.  I think until we get some
response, we may well end up p***ing in the wind.  Excuse my language.

Watching and waiting for others views...
