I should have made it clear that the bug-report form would be in ADDITION to the
forum, not in place of it.  Just a way to make things more official and
scientific.  I have been in the software development industry for over 20 years
and believe that a formal tracking system for bugs is a very good thing, and
that a formal reporting system adds value as well.

Also, I thought separating the Arena messages from the non-Arena messages (by
setting up a separate forum) might make it easier for most people (at least me!)
to better focus their reading and writing of messages.
