This is just an assertion. There are lots of things customers want. If you
were to ask one "Do you want me to spend this time fixing a bug that you'll
never see, or do you want me to add that feature you requested?" you might
be surprised at the answer.

Gremlins (and the asserts they trigger) are just a tool. I don't worship at
their altar. I prioritize my work. Stuff that the customer sees has priority
over stuff that only Poser sees. In the perfect world, all bugs would be
fixed. However, in that world, no software would ever be released.

Have you ever heard of a guy spending a week fixing an obscure bug? Has that
guy ever been you? :)

Right--normally that's the case, and it's easy to fix, so I fix it. In the
on "lurker" I've got, that's not the case, however.

In any case, I'm still looking for answer to my question about the severity
of the report. Is "Invalid insertion point" a real bug that would affect my
app's performance in the real world?
