So. Which do you want him to do, fix bugs, *Which he is doing* or answer e-mails?
It's not an either/or issue and yes, I do know he is fixing bugs. I never said I wanted him to answer emails, though somehow that's what everyone thinks I meant by "evidence that he ... reads emails". He must be keeping some kind of list (at least) of bugs and feature requests and has prioritized them for fixing. Inevitably, some "bug" reports either aren't going to be fixed or aren't really bugs. Similarly, there are a huge number of feature requests that, I'm thinking mostly won't be incorporated due to practical reasons. These all could be addressed in a simple remark. Making this viewable somewhere with periodic updates would do several things:

- allow players to see the list so that they won't further clog his email with bug reports or feature requests for things that already have been sent in. Periodically posting the list somewhere is much faster than viewing numerous emails so this would save his time.

- makes people aware of the existing bugs to possibly avoid them in game play for those that are avoidable. He could even keep those *secret* bugs off the list for those that might lead to multiplayer cheating. Though this really just gives the advantage to a cheater who knows about the bugs.

- allow modders to address any issues that can be addressed via data files.
