I agree with the current state - it should stay closed, and anyone that wants to report a different case can create a new issue linking back to that one. If I catch a comment on a closed issue I generally tell them to start a new one. I'll only reopen if there hasn't been a release and it can be reclosed in a reasonable time (otherwise you mess up historical release notes). - Brett -- Brett Porter [email protected] http://brettporter.wordpress.com/ http://au.linkedin.com/in/brettporter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
