Well I do not recall that ever being stated outside of your own 
comments. The "experts" definately have problems too, of course they are 
likely up to date for the most part on service packs and patch levels 
and experiencing less trouble.

Please do not forget that the "experts" are not nearly as troubled by 
this because the problem was largly mitigated by following best 
practices. I suspect you too could be spending this time appropriately 
handling the problem cases and systems that required the functionality 
with a lot less worry and headache.
