		<description><![CDATA[So, the 20 minutes or so I wasted just now reminds me of a pet peeve of mine: developers who are too eager to jump to things like sun spots, &#8220;weird transactional issues&#8221;, and bugs in vendor libraries when things aren&#8217;t behaving the way they&#8217;re supposed to be.
