Chuckle. ;-) even.  But, speaking as a C.E.T., which I am one, that is 
about as sloppy a job as I've seen since I retired a decade back.  HOWEVER, 
it looks as if all legs I can see from this side are actually connected, 
I'm not so sure I would warm up the iron and fix it unless I could see, 
with a very strong magnifying glass, any hairline, almost invisible cracks 
in the solder between the leg and the board.  Those would likely lead to 
its only operating at one or the other temperature extreme.
