    The fact that you think Epic is consumer friendly in any way tells me all I need to know about engaging you any further on this topic.

      I said no such thing. Please come back to this later with a fresh mind, and remember how wrongly you interpreted what was actually said for the sake of trying to fire off a quick response.

      But if you’d rather disengage altogether then it is what it is. Cheers.
