One technique I used before the 2.2.6 release was to mail the originator asking if their problem still existed, and ask them to test the beta version if it did. With about 10 hours work on my part Steve was able to close about 50 PR's. Also, the Public Relations aspect of this was huge. I got many letters expressing appreciation that someone took the time to contact them. BTW, ports/7910 should be *real easy* to close. :) Doug
