Not really, as you say, you dupe or you comment. Personally I always subscribe to the bug too, lots of people subscribed to the bug may make it stand out to developers. The problem with 'me too' comments are that they are unnecessary after a while and just results in lots of pointless emails being sent out, slowing people down further. > As for Thursday nights and bug testing I wonder if its a crazy idea to > suggest user attempt to replicate malone bug reports.

I think the work flow currently is to assign the bug to yourself while triaging it, though I'm not sure on this point. > Anyway I dont want to detract from the feast ( sorry Fest ) thread so > if this merits some discussion please edit the subject line appropriately. Yeah, way off-topic :p I've CC'd the bugsquad too, perhaps the discussion should continue there.
