[turba] Address transfer problem

[Steve Daniels]

I would of thought it was obvious that if you customize and/or tweak the 
software upgrades are obviously not going to go smoothly. It's like 
running a cracked version of some windows software and then expecting 
it's automatic upgrade agent to work perfectly.

What you could do is search through the bug reports and see if/when this 
has been fixed, then track the changes through the cvs and see the 
relevant files that where changed to fix this. And apply these changes 
to your local installation.

If it hasn't been fixed, and you would like it to be fixed, 
developers/coders are most likely only going to fix something if it's 
running the latest code - because then they know it's compatible.

I'm sorry if any of this sounds out of line, or is blatantly incorrect 
I'm sure someone will correct me. It just annoyed me to see you moaning 
when Chuck, Jan, and the rest of the team put so much hard work into 
this project for free.

Just my two pence,
Steve Daniels
