3+ months of little-to-no communication, stonewalled by front-line support and having to e-mail [email protected] before getting any response is "by the book"?

I get the impression that you're arguing (and users are downvoting) from the vantage point that Apple is a reasonable organization. They are most certainly not.

The only organization I know of that beats Apple and the AppStore when it comes to Kafkaesque bureaucracy is US Immigration Services.

I think the real subtext here is that it would take an unusually awesome company to resolve a problem like this quickly, and whatever anyone thinks of Apple, when it comes to process they are not unusually awesome.

Nobody is asking for "quickly". It's way too late for "quickly". How about making a proper good-faith effort to reach an amicable resolution in a remotely timely fashion, instead of general stonewalling?
