The london.pm archive is searchable; I was complaining about now-fixed
bugs that were still in the wild anyway - a response of "these are now
fixed but it -is- a shame there's no easy way to force an update" would
have been fine, I only took exception to having "FUD" yelled at me when
I still encounter these problems regularly when supporting clients and OOS
users.

That's absolutely and perfectly logical, and I look forward to seeing it
on CPAN.
