All, this seems seriously NON-lame to me. Of course, testing and fixing
the bug before it was put out there would have been less so. But think
of this! A large company has actually admitted that it was wrong and
backed out a problem! Isn't this what everyone always complains SHOULD
be done? ;-) ;-) ;-)
Me, I'm always doing it, but that's just 'cause I have to. ;-)
