"Stick stirring" does not cause warps.
Did you have a look at your net status when this was happening? Did it happen at a certain distance every time? The closer you get the more info comes across to your computer (basically).
And just as a gentle prod, these types of threads generally don't do very well here on the BBS. If you think something is questionable, send the info direct to support at hitech creations. Don't bring it here.
As far as bailing Buff drivers goes...heh..well it happens to us all. It's thier $14.95, and I don't get worked up about it.
cheers,
