Sounds like we're in the 'shooting the messenger' mode.

1a) I saw a message re: the bug.  I went where the link sent me.  I read 
that 'yes, there is a problem', but I saw nothing else.

1b) I expect feedback from the correct source (uk to me) to the users as 
to how this is being handled, and what we should be doing in the mean time.

2) I mention it here, because  'we' are users, and I consider this of 
interest and importance to the users (see above).

3) If this were a users list of my customers re: the service my company 
provides (no ad included), I would scan it often to make sure that their 
concerns are being addressed, but that is just my opinion re: my company.

4) Since I did not see a work around on the bug report, I did not 
execute it, and therefore would not know if it worked.
