Wow. Newton Running has finally given me a proper confirmation
slip.
I seriously don't understand what's wrong with them. It took
five weeks and several emails before they finally issued a proper,
complete confirmation slip. At all other races I've ever
participated in, the confirmation slip was issued right after
payment.
Hell, they didn't even give two hoots about my initial email
politely requesting the slip. It took several successively ruder
and angrier emails, all with me threatening to go to the media,
before they finally got it right.
What's wrong with some companies these days? Would it kill them
to just treat their customers decently without making them having
to blow their top? Don't they realize that bad publicity kills
business for them.... or do they need their customers to remind
them by having to threaten to go to the media? 
most are left to be run by interns like the evil bus up there,
who probably don't give a flying rat's ass
