Do you have any idea how insane that statement sounds? If you mark bugs as bogus and you don't expect anyone to question that action ... ? By some theology, the definition of insanity is performing the same action over and over and expecting a different result. If every time I closed a bug with no explanation, a bunch of people jump on me about it, yet I continued to do so, I would _deserve_ the assholes I had to deal with. Or, I could just start putting a brief explanation in the bug report and see if the increased communication led to improved relations with the users. But to keep on the same path and complain that it continues to produce the same result ... that's insanity. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
