That's the problem when your packages are used by other people, you get bug reports. And the more you fix bugs, the more your packages are used. And the more you get bugs reports. And now, the more you get useless reminders... I can give you some examples of packages in PEAR that are full of bugs and have no bug registered.

Did this piss you off ? If yes, I am glad it did. Now you can imagine what some of us felt when we received your reminders. >PEAR is not a game for rebel teenagers.

Do you really think your reminders will help make our packages any better ? If yes, please explain because I don't understand. Thanks in advance, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
