Compared to buggy, not working and pointless?

"ancient" it's like saying everything that RH ships is worthless..

I was hoping not to get trolled and instead to get sincere feedback
from the user about what his needs might be. It may be simple
curiosity or actually something technical. So I'm happy you may be
able to help him on his mission, but attacks (esp stupid ones) aren't
appreciated.
