you might be surprised at some of the solidly-documented error-reports which whitewashers have completely ignored.

now some whitewasher will feel the need to come here and say, "we don't ignore your error-reports; but we do have a backlog". they might also add: "and half of the error-reports we receive are faulty, in that the so-called error is not, in fact, an error." let me grant you both of those points. (even though i have some suspicions about the second one.) my point is that the mere submission of an error-report does _not_ mean the "errors" will be fixed immediately... ...or at all... jim can tell you more about this, if you want to ask him... -bowerbird p.s. although maybe i should have let a whitewasher appear. wouldn't it be nice, every once in a while, to hear from one?
