We will not be charging any extra for this new 'feature'.

Files will randomly disappear from your hard drive. This is a new 'feature' that will give you more disk space on your hard drive. There is a 5 percent chance that this is not an important file to you and a 90 percent chance that this is not an important file to the operating system. Our programmers are working around the clock to raise the percentage numbers, and this patch should be available soon. Please have your credit card handy, as this will be a add-on to Windows. You may also have to call and read a 232 digit number to us (to our Indian Tech guys, of course), and then write down a 178 digit number that they will read back to you in broken English.
And the point of your keyboard diarrhea is?

I'm not the one that first used the word 'feature' to describe this phenomena, and from my initial post, I said I wasn't pleased with it either - bug or otherwise.

I also didn't realize that I had to get pre-approval from anyone for setting ground rules in my solo league. I just assumed that if I didn't want any player in my league to suffer catastrophic injuries resulting from spring training, I could go ahead and edit them with impunity.

But just to please you, I'll hold off on that phone call to Bill.
Cripes.
