Hi Ethan,

thanks for the mail, is great to ear you enjoy using the branch.

On my side I think precise bug reports are _extremely_ important.  For
precise I especially mean providing a clear recipe to reproduce it
starting from scratch.  Precise bug reports saves me a lot of time and
greatly help improving the usability of the branch for all users.

Needless to say suggestions and/or patches are greatly appretiated too.

Thanks

  Andrea
