And the subject line doesn't help, IMHO.  'Bogosity' is pretty strong --
'bugosity' might be better.....

However, I understand the possessiveness one gets when one has put forth a
great deal of effort into a major project such as this one.

The 'e-mail effect' strikes again.  Isn't it so much easier to be much harsher
by e-mail than intended?  I certainly have noticed that in my decade of being
net-connected (first via a slow as molasses uucp link to usenet, then via an
even slower slip link....).  However, this is quite tame compared to, say, the
linux-kernel mailing list..... But, then again, I do believe that the
collective net-age of the developers here is higher than on lk, even if the
list itself is possibly younger.

I say 'kudos' to all the developers who have put in long mostly thankless hours
working on this project -- it _is_ worth it!!
