[TenTec] Happy Orion owners (was question about updates)

[Dennis Bryant]

I have over 30 years experience in management with various companies. One of 
the things I have learned, and was shocked to learn, is that some people are 
only happy when everything is going wrong. I try to disassociate myself from 
these people. The opinions of this type of person should be ignored. I am 
not talking about the person who finds a problem and offers a solution. The 
dysfunctional person I am talking about never has a solution and are never 
happy. They only have problems.
