We are all different. if I'm the one dealing with all of these bugreports, I don't find it at all unreasonable that I should suggest how you actually report them. After all, if I didn't like the "tone" of a bugreport I could always discard it. You might get pissed off and mail Olli directly.. but he just forwards bugreports to me anyway. There's no getting around it - I am your bug contact in Vapor, and I get to say what I like in bugreports and what I don't, right? As a programmer, you like a certain kind of information. As a programmer, I might not. But then you aren't the one sifting bugreports here, are you? Suffice to say "But Ibrowse manages to do it" or words to that effect do not help anybody. Saying "V doesn't do text highlighting, I have to use IBrowse to copy text out of the pages" doesn't motivate anyone to fix it like you think it would. Nobody is running around worrying that you have to fire up IBrowse instead of V :) -- Matt _____________________________________________________________________ Voyager Mailing List - http://v3.vapor.com/ Voyager FAQ....: http://faq.vapor.com/voyager/ Listserver Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=HELP Unsubscribe....: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=UNSUBSCRIBE
