I think that still falls into #2, and that's pretty much my point. Analogy: I need an oil change. I take my car to the car shop. They do the oil change. They also return my car with a flat tire that it didn't have before. I know it could be an accident, but the responsible thing to do is for the car shop to fix that flat tire. Besides, without this type of "responsibility" in place, I could theoretically pay a developer to fix a bug for me, and then, 3 months down the line, some other developer breaks it. What do I do then? Pay money again to have someone refix it? Hiji __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
