I understand perfectly One_Eye

I used to work for Tyson Foods (the chicken ppl), they were in the process of putting in a new shipping tracking system

we were one of the test plants......when the MIS ppl came in to brief us, I listened to what they wanted us to do & when they asked for questions I had one

"So basically you want us to tear the thing up?"

my plant manager had a FIT on the spot...almost screaming...threatening me with being pulled out of hte office if I tore anything up

the MIS reps smiled....calmed him down & told him that was EXACTLY what they wanted me to do....that unless they knew where the flaws were, they couldnt fix them

the system went active on Mon afternoon.....it went DOWN Wed AM....for the next 8 weeks it was up & down like a yo-yo

BUT when it went corperate wide? it hasnt failed in like 6 years.....testers try & tear the code up.......

no matter how hard you guys work, the community at large will always find bugs you dont....there are more us & and we are driven harder to find each advantage in the game

this is exactly why I dont complain when there is a bug as LONG as they are looking at fixing it

thanks for the feedback One_Eye, and in case not enough tell you, we all really do appreiciate you posting here
