So, as someone who probably knows tcl better than I do - is it a tclism
or a SSism that you have to use a different number of [[[[ depending on
how deeply nested your code is? This makes it rather hard to abstract
business logic out into seperate files which then get used in many templates,
cos you have to have different numbers of [[ ... ]] in the file depending
on where you're using it!
ObSlaggingVignette: a CMS which doesn't let you upload image files. ROFL!
ObSlaggingVignetteAgain: a company which sends patches to customers which
not only haven't been tested, they haven't even made sure they compile!
ObSlaggingVignetteMore: a company which tells customers to stop reporting
bugs through their bug-reporting newsgroup cos it's getting too
embarrassing.
