Well, ya know, some people will complain about just about anything. I bet
you could even find somebody who would complain it they won a million
dollars because they were not pleased that it wasn't 10 million. HJ tries
to please their users, but there just isn't a chance of pleaseing some
people no matter what you do.
Let's just hope the unhappy soul doesn't start complaining about all the
problems he wants fixed when the next release does come out since he had his
chance to have some input and didn't take the opportunity to have that
input.
