Yeah, especially as it has just been announced that a bug has surfaced :)

PE> Mind boggling.

I'd say so. Shit, here you are writing strategy software for attack
submarines and they don't even think you can write a copy a-b routine.
I just hope that I'm not around when our submarine commanders try to
nuke a bad guy :)

I had noticed that it was a bit light in the error checking side,
but then I thought about it for a moment and came to the same
conclusion that you probably did. If its fucked, its fucked. :)
