how many more threads of the same topic do we have to have
The great thing about forums like this is the information that comes from diverse areas not usually communicated to all.
If there is still something that someone can add to a topic that is current, I say why not ........ even if one should disagree with it.
So, perhaps if the "piper is still to be paid" then let's see who will "ante up".
It's also interesting to find QA management perusing the site from time to time and seeing their point of view, as they might not hear some of the facts at their workplace.
