</div>Surely anything less than "darn well" is unacceptable.<br>

</div>He just said in the other thread that he can't get it to work<br>
correctly, and that the focus should be on fixing the mistakes.<br>

<br>
</div>I don't think it's a good idea to find the faults. He'll just fix<br>
them and come out with a new version. And then, evenutally, we'll<br>
stop finding faults. He'll assume that means the faults aren't there.<br>
But what it really means is that the faults are ones that are harder<br>
to find.<br>

<br>
</div>Because if he produces better results it's more likely people are<br>
going to allow this to be run on the live DB.<br>

<br>
</div>See above. Manually finding the errors in the script is equivalent to<br>
manually editing the names in the first place.<br>
