    I find it troubling that you are unwilling to accept Joe's opinion at face value, regardless of whether you agree with it or not.

    To put it in software terms: I'm trying to say I'm seeing an error, cutting and pasting the message into the bug report - and you're insisting that the code is working just fine for you and I'm just a whiner, or that I'm making it all up.

    Don't you just hate it when someone does that, when you know damn well there's an error and they're just blowing you off because they don't want to have to work on it because they're not having a problem?
