Tom, Your whole reply hit the mark but I want to focus on only one paragraph...

>So the world is not perfect. Now how do we address the bug reporting issue as it exists at this point in time? We can bury our heads or chastise each other. I still do not see any movement towards resolution but rather the usual personality clashes. Attempting to express concern around here is not appreciated by some over vocal egotistical assholes. Not until we get our collective acts together will we get anything positive out of all this due to fragmentation and chest pounding.

The "over vocal egotistical assholes" to whom you refer always manage, of course, to paint the person expressing the concern as the "over vocal egotistical assholes". I dare say that that is a major reason that many do not comment on issues like the one at hand here.

Cheers
