Seems like the original missed being sent toe the bug-bash alias.

But I'm curious...
What's the context for this?  FWIW, removing non-bug-bash-subscribers
(that I know of), as my question is aimed, I guess, at Eduardo,
but not sure if it was posted to bash list or not?

Maybe I just missed it?

Thanks!
