 IMPORTANT:
 
-Send bug (error) reports, questions and comments to the mailing list
-at mysql@lists.mysql.com
-
-Please use the 'mysqlbug' script when posting bug reports or questions
-about MySQL. mysqlbug will gather some information about your system
-and start your editor with a form in which you can describe your
-problem. Bug reports might be silently ignored by the MySQL
-maintainers if there is not a good reason included in the report as to
-why mysqlbug has not been used. A report that says 'MySQL does not
-work for me. Why?' is not considered a valid bug report.
-
-The mysqlbug script can be found in the 'scripts' directory of the
-distribution, that is '<where-you-installed-mysql>/scripts'.
+Bug or error reports should be sent to http://bugs.mysql.com.
