I have a feeling the answer lies in the soapbox. Revenge reporting. Deep sigh. 
Either that or the French bashing the other day.
I personally wish that you couldn't report without motivation.

I was thinking about this one[^].
I didn't think that was it, but I've seen stranger reasons.
Maybe Keith Barrow was more on the spot[^], but twelve people not reading the actual text? I find that amazing.

Normally only Spam&Abuse reported posts get kicked in minutes, This is some kind of revenge downvoting - we all know he can be harsh (and funny as Hell).

Hey, I can be pretty harsh too, but I've been reported twice ever I think. In both cases for calling out idiotic comments, so I'm definitely leaning towards revenge reporting.
Oh, make that three times, there was a story some years ago with someone reporting everyone that didn't vote five on his articles.

Ok, it looks like I did not miss it

Moreover, the thread was not targetted (otherwise it would have been gone), but Nagy directly. This is either crazy, or a bug...

Hey, _I_ was not born back then, so this argument is not fair.
Do you still have that sheep costume you used to hide yourself in these troubled times ?
Get my 5 BTW, best post of today.

Just usual rant. I got a functional spec. I implemented it. The app was deployed on the server, I marked the item done. The manager (who wrote the spec) went in, claimed she did not see any changes and moved the item back to me. I went to the server and confirmed the changes are live and working as per the spec... Except that I found out that she's looking for different results than what she described in the document. Again. FUUU!!  I lost track of how many times the spec has been changed after I pointed out such issues.
Because somebody is going to bring it up - no, it's not the scenario where a developer misunderstood the spec. Trust me.  I'm 100% sure of that, because the requirements are explicit in that place.

And that is why specifications should be under source control, just like your code.

My daughters are doing a little playette for a party we're attending at the weekend. As part of it, they have some music that they want played in the background.
I have the music but I want to be able to edit it so that the volume drops. Is there anything anyone can recommend, beyond me standing beside the 'puter and manually changing the machine's volume.
