Then bugzilla-daemon should autorespond telling them to not reply to it |
| 17 |
and post on the bug. There's no reason every single person needs to see |
| 18 |
this. The most important aspect of retard-wrangling is to not target |
| 19 |
everyone as a potential tard. |

Uhh... I'd rather be emailed directly than to clog up a bug report with |
| 27 |
useless banter. And I'll often email a commenter directly if their comment |
| 28 |
and/or my reply is off-topic. Yet somehow I don't spend a lot of time |
| 29 |
window-licking or trying to wear my shoes as a hat. |
