I actually want to make you think about that folks. When the man in the street reports an issue here it is usually of the "how do i" or "it doesn't behave like" variety. Stuff that commonly occurs and can often be quickly sorted with a little patience on both sides. Problems usually caused by inexperience with computers in general, inexperience on the application (despite other similar experience wit MSO or WP etc), or trying to find a feature in the wrong place / that doesn't exist. This should be the first place that they bring this type of issue, not IZ. If IZ is made too easy then too much garbage will get on to it. The develoopers will end up spending less time on it. Perhaps instead people familiar with IZ should be the ones opening issues once an issue has been established. Or, as now, if it is a feature request, then let someone go through the process on their own to establish how much they want the feature. -- Michael Those that can, do; those that can't, teach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
