Suggested replacement: Well, this really *is* targeting the "retarded". There are many people who just don't pay any attention at all and will reply directly to the bugzie email. There's also the people who like to argue with the bug commenter but don't want to do it on the bug (which will make them look like an idiot to *everyone*), so they email the person directly. With this warning, I can completely ignore those "retards" without feeling bad :) -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Catalyst/Installer + x86 release coordinator -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
