Doesn't every other program makes atleast few same mistakes that can be achieved
by atleast few other commecials?

I think the general paranoa, and the attitudes of some programmer, to this
program (and the programmer) has reached a stage that it has become very
emberassing.

Why is it so hard to show positive attitude towards the success of some other
program?
Does it make the others look stupid?
Ego?
