Who hasn't noticed that your car never makes "that funny noise" when you
take it into a repair shop?! :-)

The "unreproducible experiment" may in fact be the bane of our modern
existence. One doesn't know enough to *record* the problem until there *is*
a problem; then, getting the problem to repeat itself sometimes takes
repeating the same steps you took before--most of which you don't remember.
And then *bang!* the problem is back, with no warning!  Trying to explain
the problem then takes it up to the *next* level. And so it goes.

When someone as serious about customer service as Ed Hamrick feels a need to
remark about the problem, we have to realize that it's real, and probably
here to stay. We can only wish that other sw/hw people could learn from that
good example. OTOH, we could also wish that we could solve things a little
easier, without several days' lost work. All in favor of better
problem-solving methods, say "Aye!"

Best regards--LRA
