In that case, if the clock flag falls, crafty couldn't lose. As far as the rest, didn't _you_ tell _him_ about a few thing you considered "bugs" and he didn't seem interested in fixing them at all? If I tell someone about a problem, I do that because I am interested in helping them. I am not going to be concerned whether they fix the problem or not, after I do my part by reporting it. I don't consider it my problem beyond that point.
