It was lazy programming, something like:
this.tmrCron.enabled = m.EnabledTimer
Now I have changed it to:
if this.tmrCron.enabled # m.EnabledTimer
    this.tmrCron.enabled = m.EnabledTimer
endif

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
