    Hi Jamie,

You missed the point. I am not saying that I can't work around the
problem. What I am saying is that I have hard time to trust a component
that has this type of issues. If this is broken, I start to worry what
else is broken too :-( . I just don't trust the component so much after
seeing this. This type of stuff for me is important indication of the
overall quality of a component. I guess I am just picky.
   Cheers,
     Boian
