Have to ask ask the question that is begging to be asked. :-) Why not just get/use a service like hotmail/yahoo/gmail then?
The real problem is not that anyone here seriously worries about anonymity. Rajko (i think it was he) complained about that, but I suggest he was more put off by the fact he used his valuable time to try to help Novell (free of charge), and in return they wanted a list of all his warts, tattoos and birth-marks on color glossy photographs with circles and arrows. And god help you if you forget your password to your bugzilla account, its easier to break into an on-line banking site. And after all of that you STILL can't find the problem reports because the bugzilla search is so lame, and Google/Yahoo is not allowed to crawl the site! On the thread titled "Novell Please make Bugzilla for OpenSuse really Open" I suggested that bugzilla should be indexed by google, and got no response other than from one suse worker complaining about how slow the server was and google would only bog it down more (which by the way is totally not true, google's crawlers go out of their way to impose a light load). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
