Ha! <grin> Based on progress so far and the spectacular fireworks
created by most Cobalt patches, I'll take a post from Dan Kriwitsky,
Jeff Lasman, Jeff Lovell, Carrie Bartkowiak, or even myself over
information from Cobalt any day. Cobalt's almost as bad as Microsoft in
this sense.

With this I do agree.

Amen. I'll settle for 95% or something like that, but the patches really
do have a horrible record.
