Works as designed?

Dili,
Thanks, I had not come up with all of those.

In the software development world, "WAD" means "Working As Designed" - which means the software behavior in question is nada-bug.

Or it means it is a bug but developers can't be bothered to fix it...[:D]

US Government term--Working as Designed. One of the possible responses to a user problem report. Use with a cynical tone of voice when it's a contractor-built system.
