I my writing gives you the impression I am unhappy or worse with the
vermillion work, than I'm sorry, but that was/is not my intention.
I'm very well aware of the DEV quality and what to expect.
I'm also very pleased with the work being done -AND- the way people
respond to messages and all.

Yeah, I know. I guess my 'urge of bleeding' is not that high then ;-)
I also want things to work. In general I'm very happy with the latest
SXCE editions. They seem to be more 'stable' on the desktop.

ans this explains it for me. I have the worng POV on fixing bugs. I
always thought that what does not work now will work in the -next-
realease. Th?t is wrong. It takes a couple of releases.

All in all I do appreciate your extended answer.
I will be a little less critical.

Also try to bear in mind that my native language is Dutch, so I will
not always express myself in the 'right way'.
