11 Well, this really *is* targeting the "retarded". There are many people who just
12 don't pay any attention at all and will reply directly to the bugzie email.
13 There's also the people who like to argue with the bug commenter but don't want
14 to do it on the bug (which will make them look like an idiot to *everyone*), so
15 they email the person directly. With this warning, I can completely ignore those
16 "retards" without feeling bad :)
