I see about five people posting to the list moaning about the mirrors, so I don't post to the list moaning about the mirrors. Why would I? It's pointless duplication of effort. I simply consider the problem sufficiently well flagged up and wait for it to be fixed. What would be the use of the hundreds of people who test Cooker (read the archives and count the names...) all posting to the list with almost identical moans? -- adamw
