You have a choice, you know. Leave CO to the kettles and see where they end up. Talk about gaming the system..
Seriously? I know nothing about EK other than that they are usually held up as a shining example of doing things well.

i'd switch if i could, but i am a hostage of the network and to switch would mean spending at least a year starting over for status.
This is the most discouraging kind of example. How many times have you solidly reproduced this?
