Doug,

Did you read the mail where I said that Eliot won't track
things that aren't obviously new issues? Please do try to
make his and our lives somewhat easier by complying with that
request - it is not reasonable to expect him to parse
a thread to extract an issue description from the 7th message
or whatever that was.

Or you can continue as you're doing and once again have
people pay less attention to your points than they otherwise
might.

Your choice,
Stephen.
