Another project, users were to supply data. Nothing working as expected.
Data supplied is crap, after a meeting got a mail, saying "I realise you don't understand, so I will send you some new data" do I let it go?

Really want to call them out for wasting my time, but then they are paying for it

If the user is that much of an idiot, to call him/herself out then I'd do nothing. Offer your rope vending services.

Of course keep a note of this in your daily log in case you need to refer back.

Edit : It's sometimes not about what you say, but rather what you don't.

PM: AlreadyPacked, wtf happened?
AlreadyPacked: We tested the system with the data supplied. It didn't work. The users have suggested sending newer data, so then we will try again.

Of course. Nobody would admit to being his real dad.

Although you do share the obesity gene, so who knows?

Well I haven't gone over to the dark side like, MF for example. Still invoicing, which is my measure of successful.
