One, I don't consider myself as a normal MUI user, I have several programs
which would not exist without MUI - I also note that I have received error
reports from people that are actually using the latest version of MUI
which I obviously can't possibly fix due to not having that version (Ok,
so testers STOP sending ME bug reports - get MUI fixed, as my program
can't possibly be wrong if it works on MUI 3.8)

Most of this fluff breaks programs that are currently in progress and I'm
just waiting for the new version to be released so I get to completely
rewrite my program due to something that someone felt was a good idea at
the time.

Works fine?!? Not always.

Yea, right - as a developer, I'm finding new ones all the time - none of
which I've documented because it seems to be useless to tell anyone who is
supposedly developing it that their are bugs due to the above.
Fortunately, I have gotten some feedback about other custom classes that I
use, otherwise the program wouldn't work at all under some circumstances
(Yes, using documented code and the autodocs to the letter)
