The request was in jest, of course, a product of my irreverent sense
of humour. However, I make it a matter of principle never to turn
down free lunches, beer, or T-shirts.
I would be proud to wear one of the new Stata 10 T-shirts in size Large.
I am:
Dr. David C. Elliott

As for Stata's pledge to fix things, and soon - I have been most
impressed by the staff's responsiveness to issues that are raised. I
did have prior experience of working with Alan tracking down a bug in
the -help- code that caused network flooding of read() calls and
really appreciated that a Vice President would roll up his sleeves and
get his hands dirty. It is so nice to have a company who responds to
problems without giving you SAS ;-)
Kind regards,
David

I think we can arrange that.
David is a long-time Stata user, and we at StataCorp will treat this as a
special case. We are *NOT* setting new policy. Our policy is, "If you find a
bug, we will fix it, and soon." We're proud of our record of keeping to
that.
