How can this discussion become any more wearisome (albeit fascinating at the same time) than it has? To a dispassionate bystander with a decent grasp of the technical AND human factors involved and NO axe to grind (such as myself
) it has seemed obvious, pages ago, that there is plenty of blame to go around! No-one will emerge blameless from the analysis. All of the arguments from the various POVs here make sense, and only serve to show that almost
everybody screwed up! 'Course if we all adopted that POV there'd be no discussion, and what fun would that be?
