It is always nice to hear people complaining and bashing things just for the sake of it. Unhappy about something? Well, fix it. Or hire someone to fix it. Connect with others and collectively hire someone to fix it. Create proper bug reports and try to find someone capable and willing to help. Whatever, but please do something useful. Guess what? Tirelessly whining about things being inherently broken won't magically fix them. Cheers -- Matteo Beccati Development & Consulting - http://www.beccati.com/
