Can we have a published list somewhere of the most voted bugs? There used to be<br>
the monthly "most requested features" of D, which was horrifically out of date,<br>
but it reminded us every month that it was there. A monthly post to the NG of<br>
the top 10 or top 20 most voted bugs would help keep people focused on the votes<br>
IMO.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You mean post the results of this query every month:<font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: nowrap;"><span><a target="_blank" href="http://goo.gl/xDqOe">http://goo.gl/xDqOe</a>? It just sounds like adding clutter to the newsgroup to me. </span></span></font></div>

In effect, posting to the NG is like a squeaky wheel calling for
grease.<br><br>And is the NG really so uncluttered that it can't have one more post per month? ;)<br><br>-Steve<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div class="gmail_quote"></div>
