See the "Internal error -Email closed" problem. It was around several months. It happend on chinook, on the unofficial beta of diablo and was still "available" on the offical diablo release.
The bug was filed in bugzilla, it was reproducable and still it was marked as "minor error" over seveal months.

I dumped modest several time ago and used claws instead. Only after the latest ssu update of diable modest become usable for me.
But still I think this whole situation could have been avoided in the first place.
didn't say they did it on purpose, just carelessly and incompetently. That is the developer way.

And I agree with you on the time and classification of problems, but that is an ego thing. comes with the territory. Developers are typically young egotistical knowitalls who know nothing, with no practical or business sense of how their work is used in the real world. it comes from never experiencing it, just reading about it
