No it is the posts after that in support of his "mild teasing humor" statement that suck...

To everyone else my opinion is:

Bugzilla ain't freakin' "Facebook".
It is for serious reports from serious people, I have no problem with using my addy as I want a serious response to the dang bugs I report.

I also don't want the process ruined by anonymous, spammed bug reports. It is boring and tedious enough to manage the information I receive from this "anonymous" forum as it is.

I understood that the minute I crossed over from this forum and registered on the maemo.org side of the house.
Sooner or later ya got to grow up.

If you don't want your email addy displayed, simple fix: Register a throw away and change it to that on your user account page.

And for those piping up about legal requirements and whatnot... Good luck with that. What are you going to pay your lawyer with, karma?

I agree the standard MO response to "Feel Free to...(whatever)" can get a person riled up. Typically the first response to hearing that is well then "feel free to go... (whatever ) yourself".

...but it is what it is.
