Like the author, I'm always "that guy" who plays a game or uses a program in a way that seems reasonable, or optimal to me (and often is very efficient) but is so unusual that the program eventually "falls off the edge of the world" and starts crashing all over the place because none of the beta-testers ever did anything quite like what I'm doing with the program. Like this guy, I usually don't know at first just what is so unusual about my behavior, and often I never do find out. My favorite game (not yet a decade old) crashes every several minutes for me, playing the way I like. I just save extremely frequently and keep right on playing it. The moral: Where business is concerned: "Be a smart herder" - don't make any false moves, or adopt odd implementations or uses of key software products (or software controlled products) because the minute your behavior is similar to only 1/1000 users (sometimes 1/100 users), you are using the equivalent of an alpha or beta product, and you should count on getting zero product support. Your complaints will, likely, not even be properly comprehended or will be understood, but labeled "impossible" and abruptly closed (I'm looking at you Open Office.)
