Not everybody bleats to the list about the bugs. Some send their messages
to Rich and recall that he _did_ tell everyone that he does _not_ fix all
bugs.
I feel that is unfortunate, but if I don't like it, the best way I have to
complain about it is to stop paying the man $2.50 a turn.
Now let's be sure that we all understand that I am _not_ saying you should
stop complaining about bugs. I _am_ saying that retroactive compensation
for this
particular bug goes back farther than you think and _would_ have changed the
flow of things _significantly_.
