100% ACK!


@Kevin
This list is meant to discuss/try out several workarounds/recipes, if 
possible,
BEFORE we decide to file this as a bug...

And sometimes it turns out to be not a bug...

This might take a little burden from off of your shoulders, at least 
sometimes ;-)


And i also want to point out that sometimes the discussions about a 
(not) bug are
so "heavy" that we all might simply forget to gozilla it... We're only 
human ;-)

Perhaps someone should write a little stack that checks the frequency 
of a certain
subject and will automatically bugzilla the subject... OK, a little 
more "intelligence"
in that app would be useful :-D
