Re: Batch closing of issues (ISSUE-144, ISSUE-187, ISSUE-190, ISSUE-173, ISSUE-138) [pls Respond by Jan 30]

Hi Jonathan,


thanks for the note.

At this point in time, I do not have sufficient information to qualify 
your objection as "substantiated".
Could you answer my questions (or point me to specific messages where 
you have answered them before)?

I would like to learn what needs to be done to improve the new approach 
to exceptions in order to allow you to say that you can live with it.


Thanks a lot!
