Well, at least all software that does anything significantly useful has
at least one bug in at least one of the following ways:
1. The actual code doesnt match the design
2. The design failed to consider some issue so though we can prove (which
I find suspect anyway) the implementation flawlessly represents the
design, the result still is broken
3. The operating environment which the software depends on has a bug

PS#2 ... I'm beginning to really wonder about your phoney unsubscribe
