But that's users isn't it. They're like that.

The reason I'm talking about the tools is that I don't find them very
usable. All the information is there... but I have to do quite a lot
to get at it. I have to keep going to the site and clicking on stuff
and selecting things from drop downs and so forth....

It doesn't help that I'm rarely logged on to subversions and that my
email link is quite slow.
