12 i think you're missing the point of the LATER resolution ...
13 LATER means 'it will happen, just not now' ... which is why i said post on the
14 bug again in a few weeks and we'll take a real look at it (following the
15 policies mentioned in other e-mails on this thread)
16 LATER doesnt mean 'about as much chance as a frozen day in hell' ... we use
17 LATER to better help us track bugs, not to tell you to piss off ;)
