Even this is redundant. I already receive the "Unresolved Problem Report"
every Friday. I do `grep "Dale Scheetz" problems.msg >bugs.today` and get
a useful list of all my outstanding bug reports.
There is no additional information provided by the NAG message, so it is
completely redundant, and useless.
I can remove myself from the bug track mailing list if I desire, and stop
receiving the Friday report. I have no such control over the NAG messages.
I am only asking for control over what gets sent to my mailbox by an
automated process. I am supposed to have legal recourse when someone
unknown to me forces e-mail into my box. I find myself frustrated and
disturbed that I can't get the same cooperation from a fellow developer.
Waiting is,
Dwarf
