  all certainly true, but nothing says anyone *has* to follow the
discussions -- one could just look at it as a place where readers
could share tips and so on.

  on the other hand, it could also take the place of submitting
official bugzilla bugs, if someone just wants to leave notes like,
"hey, there's a spelling mistake", or "you forgot to mention option
'--fubar' in your list of options."

  anyway, it was just a thought.
