Thanks for the timely reminder. It is all to easy to stop remembering "The
Process" and to just fire off randomly hoping to hit something. I have
submitted code change ideas and spent several happy hours tracking problems

am currently experiencing tend to make me frustrated, and then I forget the
etiquet !
I will try to follow the process !
