Well, I just tried again. Spoke to a man named Dean this time. Same
answer. I asked him how long it had been unavailable, and he said "about
a month now".   ???

Anyone who gets the reply, "Yes, we have them and will send you one",
PLEASE get the name of ther person you talked to, and post it! I'd love
to find out.

BTW, Dean also said I might try the Customer Service line, 1-800-822-8987.
He said "They might still have some".
