I have spent the last few months getting used to the "Cobalt Way",
reading the Knowledge Base and the archives...and reached the conclusion
that either I am not a good reader, or that there seems to be no
central list of
A. Known Bugs in the "Cobalt Way"
B. Known "Cobalt Way versus the rest of the world" list of
   implimentations
C. Known fixes for either of the above

If there is such a thing, I'd love to know about it.

If there is not such a thing, it might be of benefit to create one...that
would cut down the number of duplicate and/or inaccurate posts on an
issue, the numerous "look in the KB and/or look in the archive" that have
no reference to specific entries for a specific issue.

Some time ago I offered to setup an online database of such things...but
the majority of the comments were in the vein of "I don't like your
program, design, breath, etc."

It strikes me that Cobalt should be supplying the information about known
bugs and strange implimentations, and as reasonably efficient managers we
should be able to document what they don't.

If I was a "guru" I'd just write it all and post it...but, being a newbee,
I don't know enough to be more than dangerous.

However, if folks who do know are willing to share, I'd be happy to
compile something...and instead of vague references we all could look
at a specific location/page/document to answer what seem to be ever
repeating questions.

Who knows, maybe even Cobalt might take the position that the list of bugs
and "features" were valuable contributions from their paying beta
testers(those of use that have purchased the units) and consider either
making changes or supplying information that would allow work-arounds.
