 I think Branden's whole point was that he doesn't like to be forced to
 listen to something he's not able to respond to (to Ian's bug report,
 that is) and that therefore he will just do this: not listen to Ian's
 bug reports. So I think your argument doesn't work well here.

But 

a) he _was_ able to respond to it, the message just got delayed by
three hours; and
b) the bug report was from one of Ian's users, not Ian, and the
drastic action would affect several of Ian's users, not just Ian.

Yes, sure we could get other addresses that don't use SAUCE, but
some of them might use DUL or some such, and then Joseph would be
ranting ... (btw, Joseph, you and the rest of pacbell.net should
be able to send mail to eng.cam.ac.uk addresses these days ...)

  Hello, I noticed Jazz++ (www.jazzware.com) is now released under

 I tried, but it would not build and failed in several places.

Ditto.

 It is written mostly in C++, and I don't know C++.  Not to mention the fact
 that I do have one or two other packages on my plate.

It is also reliant on wxWindows 1.68.  Granted, one might not always use
the *most* up-to-date version of things, but 1.68 is prehistoric now, and
people are generally advised to upgrade.

I'll take a look to see if I can get it working with current wxWindows
(the ones that Ron's been packaging up lately) but I'm not entirely
hopeful.  Someone with version 1.68 might have more luck if they want
to try ...
