[wp-forums] Anyone want a go with 'None'?

[Mika A. Epstein]

Unreasonable expectations have no boundaries and 'because I pay for 
it!' is often an excuse to treat people like crap.

That said, the 3.3 upgrade has had a smaller number of the crazy pants. 
I don't know if it's the holidays or luck of the draw.

On the other other hand, there are a lot more stupid-caching-issues. A 
higher number of people have had browsers NOT let go of the old jquery. 
Telling them to use the 'Use Google Libraries' plugin seems to help, but 
if someone knows why 'flush cache' on browsers isn't killing that file 
(happens on Windows and Mac, every browser except IE, go figure), I'll 
owe you one!
