Not to mention the "breeding" affect. A bug that many people have seen only once, but can never pinpoint because they can't reproduce it. One of those people reports the problem to the mailing list, and suddenly half a dozen respond with "me too, but here's some extra info that I saw". You can't get that with a bug database. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/
