> I didn't hijacked anyone's thread. That's a matter of opinion. In *my* opinion, not hijacking the thread would have looked like this: "I'd really like to see a fix for bug #1234 (error using update() on 'object' elements) in 1.6.0.3, it's a serious problem." And, er, yes, that *would* have involved taking five minutes to properly submit a bug report. Clearly you disagree, which is your right, but I suspect you're in the minority.
