Well Steve, looked at the site you mention as I'd not heard of
this PHOENIX company before. I'm left asking how it benefits me
as an individual. Apart from not having bought anything from
S&S, I don't see how, as an individual, its going to benefit me.
At the risk of attracting censure, I'd say from what others have
said here, an improvement in S&S service wouldn't be a bad thing.

Hi All,
Sorry for the cross post, I thought you'd be interested in this.
This was something passed on to me. Wonder why this wasn't more
publicised?
