Jim,

>>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.

Jim, I don't know why this seems to be so personal in your mind. If you have a beef with any specific individual why don't you exhibit a little courtesy and speak directly to them and at least make an attempt to resolve your differences? Privately would be my suggestion.

Name calling doesn't suit you nor anyone else and certainly doesn't lend itself to a useful discussion of the issues it seems. If you are referring to me I'd just suggest you read my posts a little more carefully.

All I'm suggesting is that there are other approaches and if that means I'm an "over vocal egotistical asshole" then so be it.

As I mentioned to Tom I have concluded that the best route is through the strength of my deeds rather than the anything else, but I'm entirely comfortable that others feel differently. What's wrong with that? Are you just unable to accept a different set of opinions?
