I guess I see the checking-for-valid-bug phase a step that others can do to help lift some of the load off of members that can code. But your right, there is a lot of garbage reports out there. I just wish there was a way, that when I have the time, I can sit down and start to sift through reports and start solving them all from one place. I can see a list of bugs and even sort them to my liking. Pick out the ones I think I can help fix and proceed from there. At some point I think we should consider moving bugs to an area that can be better delegated. But for now, as you know, this project has been doing a great job helping fix issues in the system. Thanks, Jason Brower
