The fact that you weren't "terribly interested in hearing this the
first time around" is my point.  If I'm still wrong, then why are so
many people having problems?  Yes, of course some people aren't having
problems.  But IMHO way too many people _ARE_ having problems.

Perhaps you don't care.  Why should you?  It works for _you_, and
clearly all your users are just as bright and intelligent as _you_
are, so why are THEY having problems, eh?

Bill, I respect your abilities.  You're a great coder.  But I still
think you need to learn a thing or two about release engineering.
