  1. Laughable. Sorry fs, we asked you why you haven’t covered this, not if it was being worked on.
    Please next time answer our questions instead of walking around them.
    This reminds me of the braille display issue that has recently came into being, where the tech support actually evaded the question being asked of him.

  2. Hi,
    I think they gave a fair response. They can’t be blamed for something they weren’t aware of…even fs’s test team can’t catch everything, and their testers aren’t meant to pick the software apart. At least they released a patch for it. So yes, I do think this is a response; the reason they didn’t answer your question is because they didn’t know the hole existed in the first place.
