It also reflects a basic lack of knowledge of how to use the development
tools.  I never had such an experience with Microchip with more complex
questions.

I think his beef is not that he was given a wrong (or at best
misleading)
answer, it's that Microchip gave the duff info.  It was a simple
question
that could have been correctly answered in just one line "BTFSS will
skip
only the first instruction in a macro".  If they couldn't get that
right,
what chance is there when more complex issues arise?

This surely reflects a basic lack of knowledge of the manufacturers own
development tools by the support staff.
