Works great since 1.1.2008 but totally fails in previous years

 

I've seen similar EA which worked great in the last two years but were complete rubbish till 2008.

So I've been wondering if there is any logic explanation for it and if you have such a EA, is there any chance it could work for the next year or so? What is your opinion on that?? Is it worth running it on life account? It could work for the next ten years or it could fail next week, right? Would you take the risk??


Here is the tester result for my EA:

In answer to your question, personally I wouldn't have the slightest interest.
