Yeah, to you and me maybe that makes total sense. But to somebody who can
track down and fix a bug he and/or she didn't even know existed PLUS post
two emails about it in less than nineteen minutes, and still thinks that's
too slow, I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT IT IS NOT SIR! Your binary choppery would
have only reduced that to 9.5 minutes - STILL NOT FAST ENOUGH I SAY! Had
you had at least a shred of human decency and had narrowed this chasm of
time down to the minute wherein the issue presented itself, you would have
reduced this post/duplicate/find/fix/post cycle time to:
8 days * 86400 secs/day... Carry the five... One-over...
TWENTY SEVEN MICROSECONDS!

How DARE you sir!
