Requesting enhancements.  I don't consider a 220 comment bug report necessary
for requesting an enhancement though.  It's a huge morass of crap in here,
most of which is unrelated to the actual request.  Developmental discussion
should be in a mailing list, and tech support problems and similar in mail
also, not in a bug report.

There's 220 comments!  Read through this bug report and try to find useful
relevant bits and filter it from the junk!  It's next to impossible.  The
majority of content is mailing list type of content, not bug report data.

It's irritated me for quite a while actually, and I've mentioned that
before.

Yes, but this is a black morass nonetheless.

If bugzilla is full of all kinds of crap, that makes it hard for people to
find real actual bug reports.  Bugzilla was set up to track bugs.

You've reopened it again, fair enough.  I'll leave it at that then, and
respectfully agree to disagree.  No harm done.
