Okay, that's more to the point.

Well, you've brought it up, giving people the opportunity to comment
on it.  Bringing things up on the developer list is a much better way
to elicit comments than trying to put long discussions in a bug
report.  There is probably only a few of us that read every bug
report.

But, I'm not interested in those classes or that discussion.

Saying I'm 'not interested' is not really correct.  I am interested,
to a degree, but it is so far down on the list of things I'm
interested in, and I'm so wrapped up right now in working on stuff
that I am very interested in, that discussing it seems like a chore to
me.

I feel an obligation to the users of ooRexx to fix the legitimate bugs
that users report.  But, when the bugs are related to things I'm not
interested in, then that also is chore for me.  I do the chore out of
a sense of obligation rather than any type of personal gain I get from
it.  That's why I only responded to the bug part of your discussion.
