[WT-support] NAQSOP Problems

[Tom Wylie]

When is a bug - not a bug?

a)	When its a feature  or
b)	When it was never intended to do something in the 		first 
place.

You didn't answer the fundamental question - before you 
bought the software did you check that it would do what you 
wanted it to do?   I.E.  Does is actually support NAQSOP? 
If it does - you have a beef - if it doesn't then you do 
not.   Simple - no excuse - just a fact.
