Dec 15, 2010 at 23:26 comment added user1249 @Tim, as customers may see this, a more neutral naming might be appropriate.
Dec 15, 2010 at 22:42 comment added Tim Williscroft @Thorbjørn +1, If the code knows what's wrong darn well report it. The customers support tech's can probably reload their DB, and avoid a service call.
