Good to see you're feeling a bit better, Andre. Glad we could help!

Sorry about the decay problem, we'll try to create some new functions to
make that easier to deal with on a future software version. For now, its a
design tradeoff that we have to live with for a while. Funny thing here is,
if you look for the decay cutoff you can find it, but you are the first
person to actually bring it up that I know of. I guess in most people's
applications, it doesn't come up. Tells me the design choice was right,
although we'll see if we can come up with a way to improve it.

You gave me a g-wiz flashback, but that's ok....

I agree with Andre....this can be a useful tool to help people out of a
difficult situation in a short amount of time. The tradeoff, of course, is
that in a public forum you will undoubtedly have people only glancing at
things. They see the initially outraged/paniced description of a problem,
but maybe miss the resolution. They then wind up with opinions that the
item in question may not totally deserve, or are out of proportion with the
real situation.
