Hello Mr B*S*

The complaints over the 4 or 5 I have mentioned on the list has borne the remarks that I swamp the list with the reports, how it would be if I dumped a couple hundred?

if you dumped them on the list you would end up in everyones ignore
list as *the list is not the right communication channel for that*

If the bug system is not the right place to put things then nothing is.

Is this really so hard to understand?

To disregard the perception of the PHP software and it's developers is a stoic thought concept, since you have no issues accepting the concept that the majority of end users believe that the PHP software is a collection of cruft managed by a group of pompous programmers doesn't mean that the other developers share in this concept, image in a web-related world has value whether you give it any or not so airing everything isn't always the best policy.

Talking about image, why are you trying *so* hard to ruin your own?

Rather than contribute to any negative thoughts and impressions that would be attained by submitting countless bug reports

How do bug reports contribute to a negative impression? There is no
bug free software. And having the known bugs tracked in the open
instead of somewhere under the hood is is actually building trust
instead of demolishing it IMHO

that would take  months if not years to process

Did you try? where does this estimate come from?
I see a lot of claims in your postings but only very
little fact it is built upon

or most likely just be ignored,

One of the things that influences whether a bug is ignored
or taken serious is the attitude of the reporter, too. Things
that do not help with that:

 - Insisting to push things to the wrong communication channels
 - revealing the actual fix you claim to have only several
   messages down the thread instead of right away
 - not providing version information up front ... yes,
   the autoconf version you were using was to be found in
   the post somewhere ... but you ignored a very simple
   and substantial rule that applies to all forms of
   one-to-many communication: "the burden shall be on the
   writer, not the readers"

I believe it's best to refrain from such submission unless it's absolutely critical.

well, if you think so ...

Has there been a discussion? At least from your side it
was mostly flaming IMHO. Anyway, i agree that this is not
getting us anywhere. You've clearly shown that you want
to have it your way and are not willing to adapt in any
way ...
