What? Tell the stupid that which they damned well OUGHT to know?
The paramount item, over-riding ALL others, was to find out EXACTLY
what circumstances contributed to the error. (Analysis of the chain of
events is pertinent only to this site, btw, and therefore hardly needs
to be made public, but includes actions initiated *well* prior to the
actual date of the release of that flawed tic. Indeed, prior to my even
being asked to take on the listkeeper task.) Years ago (more years than
I sometimes want to admit) I had the ocasion to politely inform an ass
of a supervisor that if he kept right on disrupting my concentration in
my =obvious= attempt to uncover the roots of his current problem with
questions he damned well should know enough not to have to ask, then
clearly I should immediately go find another job.

There are occasions (many!) when disruption of concentration can be
catastrophic to the desired end result (and those occasions increase as
one gets older), as you would be aware if you'd ever programmed with that
most detestable of so-called high-level languages: RPG.
