Hmm. Hundreds of people look at this Wiffiti wall every day, and each one of them sees this error message and thinks about how instable Wiffiti is.
Showing an error message has a reason – one wants someone to notice the error condition and fix it up. However, in this case, there is nothing the operator could do – so the error message does exactly nothing for anyone…

Best regards
