Enclosed below are excerpts from correspondence I had the recent
displeasure of receiving:
> Gentlemen,

> I have been looking into the TCP Stall problem when FTPing

> also occurs with remotely mounted file-systems. I have
> reported this problem over 10 times during the past two
> years and I have recorded at least 25 other instances in
> which other users have reported the same problem.
[...]
> Apparently this problem is not considered important because

> Will someone please look into this?
Ignoring customers such as this person will NOT be tolerated. Remember:
"Our customers are the reason we are here". Developers who continue to
ignore clients such as this one risk reduced bonuses, suspension of
development privileges and, in extreme cases, termination.
