I disagree.  Being pro-active is the right approach.  Enough consumer 
response can make a difference.  We'll never know unless we try.

Companies stay in business by providing products that consumers will 
buy.  We vote with our pocketbooks.  In this case, we can also make a 
toll-free telephone call.  WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?  Worst case scenario, 
you waste a few minutes.  Best case scenario, the company makes some 
positive changes.
