    At work I get paid for what I do, and I never ever said I would not
    fix my own mistakes.<br>
    <br>
    But that's not even the case here.<br>
    <br>
    I did not ask for a fix - and how could I anyway, the software I'm
    commenting about is 5 years old, no one is going to bother patching
    it - I was only asking if anyone came across this bug and if maybe
    someone figured out what's going on.<br>
    <br>
    But hey, holy crapaloney! Simply mentioning this is a holy insult to
    their highnesses the programmers, how dare you telling them that
    what they make does not work ?<br>
    Oh mama!!! That's holy sacrilege, you need to promptly make a bloody
    sacrifice, mate...<br>
    <br>
    I was going to find the fix myself anyway, I just wanted to check up
    on the "programmer" conceit updated to narcissism these days... ha
    ha, funnier by the day...<br>
    <br>
    Yep, better chances asking the sand... it's actually a lot more
    intelligent, it contains silicon...<br>
    I am soooo happy that soon all programming jobs will be blown off by
    A.I.<br>

              Yeah, well, the problem with today's Open-Source
              programmers is that whenever you dare ask about stuff they
              wrote that doesn't work, you get the same standard answer:
              "Update".<br>
              Well, I don't need a programmer to generate a 6-letter
              word, a terminal Alzheimer can do that.</div>
