Reading each individual post via e-mail is not a problem. Going to bugzilla
and trying to read through the entire bug is.

Yes the stop sign does help with new posts, but does absolutely nothing for
people who post 100+ lines of their terminal output into old bugs and make
them totally impossible to follow.

Again this patch does not completely stop all logs from being posted, only
standard output of fixmes, errs, warns, etc (without thread IDs). This is on
purpose as Anastasius almost always adds +tid to the mix. And even allows
some number of standard log lines, quite enough for quotation.

The fact that we get 1 in 30 doesn't mean we'll always see that much. It's
much more common among first time reporters then anyone else. And number of
new users will always go up.

Vitaliy.
