From: Matti Aarnio <matti.aarnio@zmailer.org> Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 10:59:14 +0300 The problem with "post to the list" is that sometimes things slip thru without anybody catching them. It is not a problem, it is a feature. What will happen is the same thing that happens if Linus drops a patch. It'll get retransmitted if the reporter cares about the bug. If he doesn't, the one of two things: 1) the bug actually isn't that important 2) it is important, and someone else will report the bug too Therefore important issues tend to keep showing up, even if they are not attended to the first time around. This repeated reporting and patch sending may seem like useless work, but this is not true, it is actually a form of validation. I thought you don't need to login to see things in bugzilla ? That's not the issue. Asking people who want to help to read a list or two, isn't much to ask. Getting them to click around some web site every day adds to the overhead. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
