There are indeed some people on this list who interpret plain bug
reports as rude and react in a hostile manner to them, even though
http://suckless.org/community says that dev_AT_ is appropriate for bug
reports. I wish these people would adjust their attitude. Not only are
they contradicting the written policy on the suckless website,
they are discouraging bug reports. Is it better to have unreported bugs?
