Go up one level in this thread


When someone spends countless hours looking for a loophole, they may be a
whinging twit, but they are a useful one.  Their goal may be to say, "HA HA!!  I
beat your stinking pride and joy!  See!"

But you got a free tester, who through relentless unpaid work, found a hole that
needs patching.  So you spend two hours and fix it and hope they do it again.

Where I work, we pay our testers a lot of money.  I think the ownership would
really gloat if they could get them to work for nothing more than an occasional,
"Hee-hee, I found a bug."
