What I meant was an example when "fixing a bug" involved a few
discussions and finally resulted in adding new functonality. Still,
this particular example is way too small for a thesis IMHO, but you get
the idea.
And I didn't really notice people with huge egos over there. The thread
is probably rather boring for non-involved people, though.
