Actually, I think those serve a very important purpose. The reports are almost certainly being discarded unread; the value of such a reporting system is to give the user the sensation that they've "done something" to "help". It makes some people feel better about running into a bug. But you're right, they serve little purpose in solving web site problems. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
