People who don't fancy themselves to be the infallible gods of system
design often find it beneficial to hear the feedback, especially in
opensource projects. It might even lead to (gasp) more reliable system
and better customer satisfaction.

Whenever I relapse into using my time to help improve Linden Lab's
products by doing testing, filing bug reports and repro cases, Oz
Linden's attitude quickly convinces me that it's not worth it.

(This email started as my feedback about some timing issue with
network messages that could potentially cause bake fails, but then I
saw all-knowing Oz dismiss any need for it)
