My point is you rejected bug reports as "invalid" because they don't
exist on the "next version" of the site that is/was not public.  That
doesn't make the issues invalid, though obviously you can choose not
to address them. They're still valid bugs though, until the site is
replaced or the issues are fixed.

I find it somewhat amusing that simply sticking to my position on a
very simple issue - that registrars use SSL certificates that are
recognized by the majority of clients - elicited this much rage. I
thought the way it worked was that people raised their concerns, and
they are discussed. If that's not what this list is for, and if that's
not encouraged, then clearly I misunderstood the purpose of this list.
If we're all supposed to just nod and say "yes", great.

You quite sarcastically and publicly asked me to "help" in the middle
of a heated email exchange. It was clearly not a serious request for
help (and if it was, it certainly was the wrong time and place to
ask).
