On top of taking notes, it also helps to find a person to deal with repeatedly - best if a manager of some sort. Once you keep calling the same person with your notes and information, use words like "unacceptable" a lot, and they will tire of hearing from you and eventually have a personal reason to help you out. Good luck !

Not only did they put them down during the critical Holiday season, but they also proved they could do it and not pay any retribution (although I believe they covered Etoy's legal fees - big deal !). All the other big $$$ companies now know they can at least go so far as to shut down a website for a while.
We won a battle, but Big Brother Corpratism is winning the war.
I think what is being overlooked here with the whole patent thing is, you don't have to be the one who was first with the idea.... you just have to be the first one to have the patent. If these guys can prove they have the first patent on the "idea" of buying and selling goods on the internet... they'll be "stupid" rich.
