Mike, I'm sorry that Twisted was a part of such a horrible experience
for you! Thanks for sharing the experience, but evangelism tip #1 that
I get from the initial reading is from the real-time, public bit at the end.
- Do not ever, ever use IRC in a public forum to solve a problem in
real-time. In fact, do not ever use any support mechanism in a public
forum unless you or your company has a paid relationship with the people
on the other end of the wire.
- Do not ever expect to be able to fix a threading bug in less than 2
days.
