Mike;

Analogies never work so I must apologize for attempting to convey a concept that cannot be understood. Perhaps you think that the software industry has no problems or perhaps not. My point is still we need quality and commitment to maintain positive relationships between developers and customers.

Being given tools to work with that have problems does not help this industry. This is just one aspect of software but it applies to all who are a part of it. Flawed products and tools are the norm in this industry. Does that have to be accepted? Maybe that is all anyone expects!
