What has prudent got to do with any of it?  Whenever we release new
versions of our software, we simply list the bugs that were fixed but
make little mention about other tweaks that went into the software so
the testers can regress the bugs and then just work on breaking the
software as a whole (video games, they are).

Nothing relating to business, it's ONLY a feel-good thing for end
users.

Agreed.

Agreed.  It's obviously not designed by non-programmers.  This is
something that they *should* fix, but will they?  I wouldn't bet a
dime on it.

I don't recommend TB! to anyone outside of power users.  It's just not
worth the effort for most people.

-tom!
