My fear was of the unknown, the message that might be. It wasn't that I didn't bother. I spent an afternoon debugging the problem, but I didn't feel comfortable discussing it without knowing that it wasn't somehow something stupid I overlooked. I came forward with the Mutt/Vim problem readily, since I knew it worked previously. As for the bug page, let me get it up before I start dealing with synchronization and locking issues. > If you think it is important that the tone be different, then ignore > everyone else and use the tone that you think is appropriate.
