`povray.bugreports` is not there to get interesting or helpful replies.
It is a channel intended for users to officially report newly-discovered
verified(*) POV-Ray bugs, and maybe track progress on them. Where
appropriate, official recommendations for workarounds may also be given,
but generally no response should be expected.

(*within reason of course; no bug is truly verified until it is fully
diagnosed; and no bug is truly diagnosed until it has been fixed
successfully)


As for my "rant", I'm pretty sure you will find that it lacks the
long-windedness to constitute one. If you want a rant, here's one:


`povray.bugreports` is not a place for discussing whether some
unexpected behaviour constitutes a POV-Ray bug or not.

`povray.bugreports` is not a place for discussing what the root cause of
some unexpected behaviour may be.

`povray.bugreports` is not a place for discussing how to work around
some unexpected behaviour.

`povray.bugreports` is not a place for discussing what the root cause of
some unexpected behaviour may be.

`povray.bugreports` is not a place for discussing anything at all.

If you think there's any need for any discussion, `povray.bugreports` is
not the place to post.

`povray.bugreports` is also not a place for reporting unexpected
behaviour in POV-Ray caused by bugs in other software.

`povray.bugreports` is a place for reporting newly-discovered genuine
POV-Ray bugs (and for developers to respond to those reports as they
deem appropriate).


There. THAT was a rant.
