    It’s often argued that the high false positive rate proves the system is poorly run or even useless. This is not necessarily the case.

    Internet

    Everything is miscellaneous, right? Well, my categories in this blog were quite numerous and growing all the time with subcategories. They got to the point my desktop client, Deepest Sender, had more than a screen’s height of categories. The side bar required over a whole screen height on my 20″ monitor to display. Unmangeable….

    Is it user error when the “user” is a techie? Is it user error when the “user” is an admin? Shouldn’t it be admin error, if the admin is deploying the application? Is it user error when the “user” is a developer? So deep… Deep in Java. Another brown something.

Tracking down, fining, and hearing appeals…
