They are speaking from LOOSING DATA! This should be priority ONE in bugfixing, if this really is a bug.
As a friendly suggestion, Schlueri, and because at least 20 people make the same mistake every day, let me make a correction:
* "Loose" as an adjective means not tight, or not tied up, or relaxed. It can also be a verb, with the same meaning as "release" as in "loose the dogs."
* "Lose" is a verb meaning the opposite of gain, or the opposite of win. It can also mean to misplace.
So you can lose your watch if the wristband is too loose. Or you can loosen the knot in your tie so you don't choke and lose your breath. Or you can lose money, lose data, or lose your business for having been too loose with security.
Hope you don't mind the correction!
