Scott,

Was there any point to your response, other than scoring a cheap shot?

Yes, I thought I'd get it in early before all the sycophants woke up. Do you
always point out pointless posts, or is it just that I have dared to question
the great one?

My take on Brad's latest posting is this:  it's common for technical
projects (new software, new web pages, etc) to run late.  It's also common
for the persons in charge of such projects to gloss over, or ignore
outright, such glitches.  Consumers are usually left hanging.

A deadline is a deadline. When I am expected to meet a deadline, I do. We all
do. My boss expects me to anticipate glitches - not react to them.



I was very encouraged that Brad took the time to post a *public* message,
updating us all on the status of things.  This is a very good sign, IMO.

I remain sceptical.
