Re: [BitPim-devel] Exception in BitPim 1.0.6 and 1.0.7.20081215

[MBR <mb...@ar...>]

About a week ago I submitted stack traces of a crash in BitPim.  Since 
then, there's been no indication that anyone's received what I sent.

I do understand that everyone here is a volunteer.  And I most certainly 
don't want to replicate the behavior of the sort of people described at 
http://www.bitpim.org/help "No support on bitpim-user", where it 
describes the offensive behavior of the people who became the reason 
nobody's willing to even try to help with serial port issues any more.

Nevertheless, having submitted stack traces and received no 
acknowledgement that anyone got them has the feeling of sending them 
into a black hole.  I'd be satisfied, even if the response was something 
like, "We got your bug report, but we don't have anyone available to 
look at it, and we have no idea whether or when we ever will."  Of 
course, I'd be even happier if someone familiar with the code were 
actually available to look at the crash.
