Re: What's the deal with this "programming error"?

[Graham Percival]

David,

I wrote to you privately to say that I was aware of your report, and
would send an "ungently public reminder to the Bug Squad if they
hadn't dealt with it in a few days".

Now, you could argue that it had been more than "a few days", but I
wanted to give them a few days to catch up without having the
distraction of a new draft of the Issues CG chapter.  You may have
noticed that I hadn't sent any request to review the third draft of
this chapter, despite me making some significant changes to the
version in git.  In fact, earlier today Valentin seemed to be catching
up on old issues, so there's some evidence that my hope wasn't
completely in vain.

Please trust me a bit more.  If you disagreed with my waiting, I would
have hoped that you would have asked me privately why I wasn't yelling
at them yet, since I specifically wrote to you privately to explain
the situation, and said that I was quite prepared to yell at them.

Herding cats is not easy; please don't make my job harder.

- Graham
