Yes, I know. I was just trying to send a reminder and wanted to add some light-hearted fluff rather than just the word "ping". I did forget to add a smiley, so I apologize if this came across as anything other than a lame joke. :-} > usertag is a request@ feature, not a control@ feature, so it's kind of > documenting the wrong thing. Ah, good point. I missed that. [Though, as an off-topic aside here, I do find it confusing as a user that various pieces of BTS functionality are split among submit@, control@, and request@ sometimes with different syntax for the same operation (contrast adding a tag to an original submission vs. tagging an existing report). I might well propose some consolidation of the interface to make things easier to use (obviously keeping all existing interfaces functional).] > I personally haven't applied it or fixed it because I missed the mail > with the patch from Martin and hadn't seen it when looking back > through (and it wasn't tagged patch either). Fair enough.

Thanks. That's exactly why I asked if there was something I could do here. I'll see if I can get to that task soon. Keep up the good work! -Carl
