Thanks Ondrej, welcome back :-) Hope you had a great break.

I accidentally hit “reply” instead of “reply all” and part of our conversation went private. Having been on the receiving end of bug reports that are hard to articulate, it seems that the best way to capture the issue is with PRs that are easily identified as not changing any logic… ie they just print warnings. Team members can back out from there why a message would be worthwhile in certain situations, or possibly have a much better grasp of how "the problem is between keyboard and chair”. :)

In any event, I don’t even know if I have sufficient logs any more to explain the problem to myself, much less anyone else.

That’s good to know, thanks. I would have assumed that, but assumptions always lead to trouble.

I’d like to become more productive with the source, I’ll address that in a separate email.

Thanks! Brian
