So, even the best programmer cannot say, because do not know, what they already program in the last 6 months. So, your question is simply answered: Nobody can know and nobody can say something about the time a certain bug is causing to solve. It is simply the answer, which suites to every familiar threads in the past 6months and this won't change suddenly.

That is, why I always get mad with such posts. The question is already answered, no matter when u ask it or in which new context you are asking. It is always a "no"

I don't want people to write only posts with sense, but in an area, where several 100 people are looking for information, these posts should be perhaps posted in th pilots lounge in a special area "what do u think..." or something like that.

Thankyou for the good explanation. Like I said I am not a programmer, but it is now obvious to me that programming is not as straight cut as in other fields. In my line of work I am able to give an estimate because I am used to doing the job, but from what you have said it doesn't look like programming works that way. Anyways thanks for the heads up and I'll take that into account in future.
