But since this is a USER list, not a bug report, who says one *has*
to replicate the reported problem to lend a little knowledge to a user
with less expertise than your self?

One thing that would be different by still only having one list that
doesn't get supplanted every time a new core is released, rather than a
separate list for each core release, would be that with one unchanging
list the users who are trying to stay current won't have to keep
modifying there list subscriptions and e-mail filters every 6 months.

While I for one don't like "in subject" tags '[FCx]', at the *beginning* of
the subject line, It would be nice if most users could be convinced to
do something consistent that would help those who must, filter out the
ones relating to the cores they don't have any interest in.
