I think the original e-mail was posted here as a catharsis.  I imagine they get a
lot of mail that is rather silly and it can be mentally draining to have to sort
through it for legitimate problem reports.  The tone of the e-mail also seemed to
be taking a shot at the work of the POV-Ray Team, so a little bitterness over it
is understandable.

If it's true that people went after Jason with mail bombing and such I think
that's reprehensible.  As far as his problems posting to this newsgroup, it sounds
like a software problem.  Otherwise he would have seen it right after sending it.

I agree that this thread has gotten out of hand, but I think it's also succeeded
in making the point that you should think about what you are going to say before
writing a 'bug' report.
