Ray - thanks for the comment. In reply:
(1) Vegas product refer to this website for support and information. If this is not appropriate why does Magix do this?
(2) You all seem very corporately minded - in this day and age how is it possible that a firm isolates itself from its customers? They take money but then do not provide any service. Few companies isolate themselves in this way.
(3) The post refers me to an e-mail address to submit a request. On that page I am told my inquiry will be dealt with in 1-2 days. Again, why is my time, as a paying customer, less important than companies?
(4) Locking the post repeatedly just reinforces the main point that you do not want "troublesome" interaction with customers
