Thanks.

This is a good suggestion. Perhaps we should use resolved for this, given that 
I can not figure out a way to change the state names in the Mantis management 
interface. (It may be possibly using the config files, but I do not have 
access to those, and fixed or resolved is very much the same).

The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by
zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed
in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement, but few can
argue with it.
