Well, if that would be the correct interpretation, my Email address
isn't generic. Still my sample order is refused for the following reason:

What is a 'business' sample order? I did fill in a company name. And if
I do not qualify for sample orders (anymore), why do they allow me to
build an order, let me fill in the purpose, let me agree with the
conditions and only at the very end refuse to accept it?

I sent an Email to the samplessupport team to explain what it all means, 
but I never got a reply on any Email to MicroChip.....
