Since Sam Reedy and I were in the same room and he had asked for my help in sorting out the shell bugs that he handles, we set up an Etherpad (http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ShellSort) and started plowing through them to classify them into three different categories.
You mean Sam Reed.
Oftentimes I find your comments, both on the linked Etherpad and on Bugzilla generally, to be actively harmful in the resolution of bugs. I wish you'd adjust this. Uninformed noise is unquestionably problematic when it distracts from the primary issue. Your idea of research seems to rely heavily on Cunningham's Law, which in small doses isn't particularly bad, but in large doses is downright disruptive. Please stop.
Well, number 1, I gather you have no concept whatever of Brainstorming.
Number 2, I should think that if you're going to take that attitude with the technical director for a Really Large public project, you really need to show your work about an order of magnitude more than you did there.
So, what are you on about?
