I sure hope the above isn't referring to me? I would be surprised if you were, because I spend valuable time reporting bugs in the hope they're of some use. But I can't work out the meaning of this: > making one who sees "this bug authored by Telesto" to react like > "ah, this is safe to skip". (I honestly can't understand what it is saying.) I've been lightly following the discussion, but they're hard to follow because you're all using user role names which are unknown to me so I can only roughly follow the discussion, and they also became long and very in-depth. I have also been avoiding getting too involved in the discussion because I find it very hard to find positive aspects in the existing logic and structure. I'm glad my simple question helped crystallise some issues. I'm surprised the ensuing discussion became so complex. I'm worried and confused that Mike feels someone was trolling. I'm hoping he doesn't think I'm trolling - I would be shocked if he did.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
