Oh raps thanks for that, I'll keep it in mind for future posts I hope nobody abuses it.

Sorry ree for missunderstanding.

Mike is the one who remembered we have the feature and the option to check all attachments before they are seen by everyone, so you can thank him for that.

Yup - have to agree with Ree. Looks like quite a number of programmers have made that mistake with their systems with the amount of tales going around about it. I bet there are all these old, experienced coders who make newbie write programs, checking whether or not if they can avoid that pitfall to see if they are worthy. The failures are the ones who create scenes such as these!

Oddly enough, it is an easy mistake to make. If you don't know much about programming, just know that 0.00 does not necessarily mean 0 (at least in programming).

Someone just doing something like if (blah > 0.00) would easily result in these errors happening. Someone who knows a little more would understand the flaw of that statement but many people (even programmers and wannabes) wouldn't realize there is a flaw there.

This thread reminds me of something that happened in the township where I used to live. The township supervisors got this bright idea to charge a yearly "fire hydrant tax." So, we all got a bill for... gasp!... 74 cents.

It took two years before the township supervisors figured out that it cost considerably more than 74 cents to prepare the bills, send them out, process the payments, etc.
