Yes, I know this, but still, everone is harangued to submit a bug report at 
their first mention of a bug. So, the lists are of little use any more. Now, 
if the list users were to be able to discuss this DE in the 'users' list, it 
might still serve some purpose.

Sorry about the typo (-dev) I watch both lists and I was editing from an 
earlier attempt of this subject.
