Here I would respectfully disagree with you.

In 20 some years in the field of technology based controls I have seldom learned much when every thing went right.

The best education came from experiencing the "trials and tribulations" involved in developing new knowlege and understanding.

Not that we need to see the semi-hysteria surrounding the bane bots transmission failures again, we did however, see some valid growth in how to tackle a serious problem from within the first community.

My vote is for the conservative publication of all development issues so that next january we'll have some idea of just what the questions are.

If history is an indicator, we'll always have someone who inadvertently repeats the errors of the past, but learns from it.

P.S. I'd like to just see the thing up close.
