It's not the only distortion

Trying to put together an email to FSA to try and ask them to resolve or answer what is going on and it seemed a bit long winded. At the end of the mail I was not really clear what I was asking for or how the problem could be resolved.

Putting some options together I thought I could use my Dura-Ace chainrings on the FSA spider and in the process really see if the chainring was bent by putting it on a flat surface. At first I did not know it the Dura-Ace rings would fit and then after a quick measurement and check I fit them onto the FSA spider and it almost looks good.... hmmm...

This left me with the first check to see how much the FSA chainring was out of shape, so I laid it the desk to see if it was out of shape, thinking the table was not flat I turned it round a bit, then a bit more, bit more and finally figured out the desk was not bent....

Going back to the chainring on my bike I now had a look to see if that was bent anymore and it was now showing a slight eliptical distortion and a distortion in the other plane as well that I had not noticed before (both sideways and vertical, which I had not checked for before removing the chainrings).

Now that I have probably invalidated the warranty in a quest to prove a case and in the process making my bike look a little bit more odd, anyone want to buy a bent FSA chainring, only 1,000 miles ?
