All your quite remarkably juvenile performance binned. Again.

Yes, eventually it might even dawn on you that if a particular
approach has a significant problem, it may well take that long
before you see the deficiencys of that approach, particularly
when its not used all that much by very many people Paul boy.

AND its not the first time you have had a good old howl
at whats been sent to you as a poll packet either.

While ever that has to be setup manually, by people who dont know
much about the fine detail of what constitutes a valid poll packet,
in the situation whether the definition of what constitutes a valid
poll packet is quite remarkably badly documented, you are bound to
at times see a less than pristine poll packet used.

And if thats processed by mindlessly anal software that makes no attempt
whatever to be robust, its absolutely guaranteed to bite you eventually.

Aint no point in chucking a tantrum when the inevitable happens.

PE> The main problems we are seeing is that the product is no
PE> longer supported, and some old bugs have never been fixed,
PE> so people reinstalling it have to refix all the problems.

The main problem is that the original design concept is fucked Paul boy.
