Chris, thanks or your time on writing, but you shouldn't take so much time to explain that people is not perfect, and programas can barely be bug free. I repeat (again) my problem is not so much with EMC people for making the effort, but with some of those who only can fill their mouth(fingers) with charges and claim "you didn't...." "you do...." but they can barely read and understand a request at least to acknowledge what they claim has already been explained on the request.
I really don't want to keep this going and going, but recently a very dumb person wrote to me with just the intention to insult. That person has been one of those who didn't read but think he can accuse for something he is not capable of. (reason) That person represents exactly what i've been complaining of. Thanks for your time again Chris and best regards.
