I tend to agree with this approach. http://community.ative.dk/blogs/ative/archive/2007/01/29/The-Waste-of-Defects-_2D00_-Bugs-are-Stop_2D00_the_2D00_Line-Issues.aspx Subscribe in a reader Join my blog network on Facebook Blog Networks Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit...
