You are right.  That was silly.  I agree.  

I don't filter out commits but since they come from
commits at source.squeak.org that would be good enough.  If mantis comes from
bugs at source.squeak.org that would be enough too.  

Could we add a footer to the email from bugs that says this is the place for
discussing specific changes to squeak, suggesting new code, or reporting
bugs.
