ksec, I saw your other commment as well. I want you to know I have no vendetta against Apple, just a long-time loyal customer that's been treated poorly lately on multiple fronts, that's all.

To be clear, I didn't take a pass at WF, they were so unbelievably helpful that I was like, wait--- why don't I just go straight to the source? And that's how I landed at Apple to help resolve this issue.

I'm surprised you think Apple can't (or should, in your words) this honest mistake. Mistakes happen, what can I say. I'm taking the fall for this even though it was my dad, but it just as well could have been your girlfriend, your brother, your mother. Doesn't matter, you'd want everyone to have the same level of customer support.
