Re:RE: MetaSlop

Man, these guys just invite the wise-ass comment, don't they? Such as:

Well maybe if the product worked better/was less confusing/had better documentation we wouldn't all be in Metalink!
Oh no! If 4 new servers brought the system to its knees just think how bad it'll be when the rest of the hardware arrives!
4 new top-of-the-line servers, just think what that'll do to their power unit charges!

Plus I can't rid myself of the image of us all 'staggering' to Metalink for help.
