Hi Colin,

Thanks for the clarification on what I wrote. Indeed, I did not go in to 
recursively check the tracker bugs. That said, I hope my original message 
was sufficiently clear that uptake of the bug squash party was less than I 
had hoped for while still recognising people did work on open bug reports 
on the weekend. Your efforts, as always, were noticed and much appreciated 
:-)

Thanks again!

Remmy
