Stepped on an imaginery toe, I see. I wasn't defending her, I was just disputing your assessment. Lazy hacks are just any mechanisms you use that abbreviate the original (formal) procedure, even if they're provided by the product itself. And I already said that I'm using it too. Lazy hacks are implemented by programmers to make life faster and more convenient, hence lazy. If you think that's more of an attack than calling someone silly over doing something the proper (if inconvenient) way, then I have nothing else to say to you. People get so easily offended sometimes, it's ridiculous. Whatever. Lost interest, moving on.
