Not fully, no. Of course there's a limit to what can be done,
but obviously your machine didn't have the setup to catch a bug
that seems to have affected a large number of users. I can't

I certainly didn't mean to imply that you were careless. I

making the point that mistakes happen but some people seem
to get flamed more than others for them.
