Good afternoon, Adam (your name is strikingly familiar to me)!

That was the first time I used send-pr, please excuse my greenness.

The "bug" I submitted was that there is a manpage for blast but no flags,
so why have a manpage? and the author listed on the manpage is no longer at
the address listed, so how else am I supposed to know where I got "blast"
from?  I don't remember!

I had to copy the email in because I assumed you have some kind of robotic
parser.  When I run send-pr, it is as "root" and with a spoofed hostname,
therefore, mail bounces back to me as soon as I choose "s" for send.

There is a bug with send-pr  :-)

Sure it does.  At least, www.freebsd.org has something to do with them.

(I never thought you'd use send-flames to answer send-pr PR's.  Mean.)
