Well, that's a fairly bleak outlook.  When an error occurs, you should
see a message to the effect of "our engineers have been notified and
will work to fix this".  Guess what?  We're not lying!

Errors in the services produce stack traces which we see in the form
of an aggregated daily OOPS report.  We do take notice of these and
use them to fix bugs and improve the service.  Yeah, we're human too....

But we can't keep these reports around forever, so I've taken the
liberty of saving away some potential candidates from Saturday
morning's report, as well as the web logs.  The sooner Billy gets
details of the attempted purchases to support, the sooner he'll get
his refund and the more likely we are to be able to tally it with an
OOPS report and still have useful logs to possibly [0] fix it.

Cheers,

JT
