Thanks Frank. Thought for sure when seeing your name that
I was in for a scathing about my findings, feelings and
posting of such. But I can't help but try and motivate
someone into getting off their duff(s) towards getting M$
to maintain the KB, as it seems like the YouHoosiers are
the only one's doing the debugging while M$ fails to even
afford us the benefit of making our reported problems and
fixes/workarounds available in the KB.
