	Nah, of course not - don't be silly :-)

	Okay, reading back - the argument was 'We can't get rid of
these bug reports because someone might want them'. Well, we will and
do get rid of old bug reports. The current way (that Luis did a few
months back) was to just close them out and say 'This bug is too old
to be fixed'. I'd like us to also put something in place that if
another bug is logged that falls into the category of 'too old, just
close it', that it shouldn't even reach the database in the first
place.

	So, essentially I do agree with Luis, excepth that we
sholuldn't try and predict the future by putting an expiry date in bug
buddy.

Good Luck,
Mark.
