Chill, dude. You should see the abuse I get for being the lone C# programmer in a VB shop...

Thank you for exemplifying the sh*t I get so tired of having to put up with.

I think you're taking it a bit too seriously. In the end, who cares what anyone else thinks of the tools you use? If coding in VB puts beans on your dinner table, that's all that really counts, right? If you like to code in VB, that's all that really counts, right? You really gotta learn to chill.
BTW, VB sucks.
Just for some qualification, I'm currently working in a VB shop, so I think I have the right to say it sucks. I've had to go waste deep into all of the variant cesspools of VB, including VBA, VBScript, VB6, and VB.Net, and *I freakin hate doing it*, but it puts beans on the table.
EDIT (after two 1-votes) =========================
1-voting my anti-VB posts won't change the vast amount of suckage that is VB, so go ahead, act like children, and throw tantrums in the form of 1-votes.

Ignore them both. They were dropped on their heads at birth.
In real engineering, you do what works in practice, even if the theory says it fails. In social engineering, you do what theory says works, even if it fails in practice.

Gregory, you aren't going to win friends by univoting people. Rather than complain about it, win them round by showing they are wrong.

I think you need a hobby - coding in VB is obviously stressing you out. My hobbies are to build model cars and shoot at VB-oriented books with high-powered rifles in preparation for the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

You have no sense of humor at all...

I'd say that was a given.

For Alternate Tip/Tricks, we need "Not an alternate", or something along that line.

Are you thinking of the case when the author replies to a comment with an Alternate, or when someone posts something completely offtopic?
For the first, "Wrong Type" should cover it. For the second, what if we added "Inappropriate" to "Spam/Abusive"?

For the last few days and this morning I have noticed increased wait times for a comment on an article or a post in the Lounge to fully process and complete. I just posted a comment to an Article by Luc (CP Vanity) on WEB02 and it just hung their for like 5 minutes before I stopped the page from loading and I resubmitted my comment with quick success.
While I was waiting, all other sites on the internet loaded just fine, including other CP pages.
Edit: This does not happen everytime but enough times for me to take notice.

What time, roughly? When it happens how many online users are being reported?
Just trying to work out if it's a load issue (which doesn't make sense if it's fine on some pages and not others) or a specific server that's having issues / being updated / in the middle of a backup.

That's not spam, it's serious stuff, if you want to build a shed.
Next week, I'll start work on something like this[^].

You thought a shed is a shed, didn't you?
The message is gone now, however the first two lines of it can still be recovered using CP search:
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to spend an afternoon on your own, away from the hustle and bustle of home, but just nearby in case one of your kids accidentally sets the house on fire? Perh

When I first read this my mind processed it as "A comfortable sofa to watch TV with" but I see that it's about silly text controls. Still, weird e-mail none the less.

I don't think it's the only thing that is broken. Why did I get it in the first place? (Said article isn't mine)
