bk help unrm
vi `bk bin`/bk.script
/unrm

Time for that annual message on who gets helped when.  This isn't hard and
fast, 1/1 bugs are 1/1 bugs no matter who submits them but for something
like your problem this definitely applies:

    1) People who are nice and pay us.
    2) People who are not nice but pay us.
    3) People who are nice and don't pay us.
    4) People who are not nice and don't pay us.

You control where you are in that queue, it doesn't matter to me so long
as you understand that.  It's worth thinking about that ordering, I suspect
it is true world wide (whether it is admitted or not is a different matter).
