Hi all, I asked in #mozillazine for someone to help clean out bugzilla's database 
because it doesn't make sense to have bugs reported as All:MacOS8 or PC:MacOS9.

IMO this is a bug in user behavior (and perhaps in bugzilla for allowing it).  We're 
very sorry for the spam that you may have received.  I went through and reviewed the 
changes making modifications to nearly all of the bugs (which doubled the spam, sorry 
... ) -- In retrospect, i should have done this change on my own instead of seeking 
assistance.

to any QA contacts who were affected, if you believe a bug is xp please mark as such, 
otherwise I believe that w/o additional comments a bug is reported against a single 
platform or codebase, if it's against xp code i generally picked All:All, if the 
summary indicated mac i generally agreed w/ Platform:Mac.

basic: i'm sorry i didn't give clearer instructions, I was hoping someone would go 
through each bug and resolve the discrepancy (as i eventually did), but I realize that 
i didn't state this clearly.

To avoid future cleanings, people should avoid filing bugs w/ invalid platform/os 
settings, just like people eschew filing bugs w/ incorrect descriptions and summaries.
