Perhaps you could try this a couple of times when the opportunity next |
| 10 |
arises. If done well, you only need to type a sentence or two if it is |
| 11 |
just minor issues that need correcting. Also bookmark Ciaran's nice mini |
| 12 |
FAQ which covers lots of common mistakes: |

It may feel a little harsh to give someone a canned response just by |
| 17 |
pasting a URL in the comment field, but curious readers will find his |
| 18 |
faq.txt which explains nicely that we aren't evil/lazy, we just have a |
| 19 |
lot of work to do. Thanks Ciaran! |

I guess the only other downside to this approach is that it delays the |
| 22 |
fix - instead of fixing it right then, you have to wait for another |
| 23 |
round of communication to complete before closing the bug. That is |
| 24 |
undesirable for people with busy schedules. |

Thanks for the feedback. |
