I have friends that call me with questions about how to do this or that on their computer, and I've taken to having them go to the computer, get into help and then type in what they are wanting to know about. They are simply amazed that the answer was right there. Imagine that!!! But it's easier to just call or email Richard. Same in the forum. For some drama seems an integral part of life, they thrive on it, and it can be difficult to deal with since once in drama mode, nothing you can say or suggest is going to satisfy them. They want that pound of flesh. If there is another editor malfunction we will probably see many of the people who were caught by the bug this time back in the forums, caught once again. When you are able to help, and someone says thanks, that makes up for a lot of it though. I hope Matt and Automattic realize how fortune they are. This is a really good group of volunteers.
