Re: Orca SEVERE Firefox regression independent of (was Re: is now crashing Firefox 3.0)

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Thanks Lorenzo!   I may have been a bit defensive -- I woke up to an 
inbox full of e-mails with subjects along the lines of "Orca is 
crashing/hurting xxx".
When I dug into them, I saw that it really was a failure/regression 
outside the control of Orca.  From a historical point of view, I'd like 
to see the Orca mailing list thread summaries provide a more accurate 
representation of the issue at hand.   For example, imagine my boss 
happened to say "Hey, I'll view the the Orca mailing list archives to 
see how it's going."  To help prevent potentially inaccurate 
perceptions, I will often retitle the subject when I respond.  I also 
gratuitously retitle subjects to more meaningful phrases to help others 
track down problems. 

Having said that, I want to assure everyone that we want to hear about 
problems.  Feedback from our users is very important and I value the 
fact that people take the time to write comments.  You guys are all an 
awesome community, and the general patience with the bleeding edge is 
commendable.  We are going to get there together one step at time.
