However I > will keep that in mind for my next issue ;) Of course I agree, that users are not *expected* to search the sources. But with open-source, at least they *can* :-).

However that's a case where I am (or > was) one of the developers so I do have the sources handy. :) Exactly. I think it's more a matter of habit. When I was a sysadmin, I used to search sources much less than today (as a developer), also in cases where I am a "casual user", in projects not closely involving my main work. > > Thanks again.
