Hi Greg,

setting up a new qa testing site is not straight forward, bugs will be
found; in our case, reporting bugs :P

If the guys doing this do not get them fed back, they cannot solve them.
They are looking into how bugs should / are being reported. Our aim, from
all of QA is to ensure that you good people have all the most recent
information available to you. I just go nag the heck out of them when I
spot an issue. Please, all of you, do let Nicholas know of ideas you want
in. He has a list of things to do, he is totally open to your comments.

Regards,

Phill.
