OH! I get it now. The confusing IZ is a kind of gatekeeper. Only those smart enough to pass the test of IZ are worthy to submit their bug reports. I mean, obviously, we don't want some riffraff M$-lUser to be able to communicate with the almighty coders. Nothing some lame-brain grandma has to say could possibly be of any import to the hallowed programmers. We don't want just *anybody* to be able to help the project! Heck no! They have to be computer savvy, technological, of above average intelligence, persistent, and able to read minds, since we hide any easy instructions (if they exist) on how to use IZ. We certainly don't offer any help to people wanting to file a bug report - we just mock them for being too stupid or too lazy to automagically figure it out. I mean, when the all-wise said "Many eyes make bugs shallow" - he *obviously* was only referring to brainiac geek-eyes - not to *heavens* "End lUsers". Just in case my sarcasm is lost on anyone - I do not actually feel this way - I am using satire to point out the folly in Michael's line of thinking. Or perhaps, better said - his arrogant elitest chauvinism. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ http://www.whatisopenoffice.org/ Because everyone loves free software! http://www.chadwsmith.com/ Because, admit it, you've got nothing better to do right now...
