more work to be done....

[Christopher Travers]

A "Me Too" link might be helpful.  However, tracking down bugs may be 
difficult if the reports are not detailed enough to allow developers to 
reproduce the problem.

An alternate solution would be to allow a form for tentative bugs which 
woudl allow people to submit steps that they have found allows them to 
reproduce the problem.  This could then be tallied, played with, etc. and 
used to verify and narrow down bugs.

Best Wishes,

(MCSE training was great!  It allowed me to use SAMBA to its real 
potential...)
