+Hi Colin,
+
+Thanks for the clarification on what I wrote. Indeed, I did not go in to 
+recursively check the tracker bugs. That said, I hope my original message 
+was sufficiently clear that uptake of the bug squash party was less than I 
+had hoped for while still recognising people did work on open bug reports 
+on the weekend. Your efforts, as always, were noticed and much appreciated 
+:-)
+
+Thanks again!
