This whole discussion is just weird. I think Mic hit the nail on the head. You don't need to be a domain expert in everything to pass good judgement on it. I don't have to be a programmer (although I am) to understand that there's something wrong. It's pretty easy to look at the net result and conclude that something is flawed in the process. After all, if the process was working well, so should the end product. This isn't to trivialize the amount of working that goes into writing an app, but c'mon, we paid for it. We wouldn't expect this quality from anyone else. If my accountant consistently messed up my taxes, I wouldn't expect it to excused because the documents are hard to interpret. If my lawyer consistently wrote contracts for me that simply don't hold up in court, I wouldn't say, "don't worry about it pal, it's hard, complex work". My point is, we can certainly empathize, but we shouldn't excuse. -- Kevin ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.34 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
