Most of the recent flames in this newsgroup were from people who
desparately want to see the software that they paid for work correctly,
or from people who want a reasonable amount of technical suppport in
return for the support contract that they paid for. If these flames
help to provide some incentive for the companies in question to deliver,
then they have served a useful purpose, and are not noise.
