You can say that again. I'm sure a few of us remember when they first
released our 30, 38 and 46 songs and they didn't work except when you
targetted yourself. Nice QA there guys. Someone couldn't even find the 2
minutes needed to test the songs against a bat in the newbie zone.

Dispite Brad's claims to the contrary I think they are running an
extremely small crew of programmers and little to no testers (they
probably make the GM's responsible for QA as well as their regular jobs
of phone support for all Verant's games and their GM duties.
