 * Hey um, anyone – I don’t know if there is a place to put bug things, or even 
   if you already know about it or whatever… but,
 * If a post has a single quote in the title, then it doesn’t get correctly escaped
   in the edit.php list page – eg, from my site:
 * `return confirm('You are about to delete this post 'XBM graphics format? What
   the bloomin' heck?'n 'OK' to delete, 'Cancel' to stop.')`
 * the single quote on bloomin’ is not escaped. This unfortunately let me delete
   a post without confirmation, which I accidently did 🙂
 * To get around it I replaced all single quotes with nothing (as its just for the
   javascript confirm) in the control_delete case around the `wp_specialchars(get_the_title('',''),
   1)` line.

 * I don’t recall seeing a bug along these lines, but you can search before submitting
   a report.

 * Yep, I did a search which didn’t turn up anythign. Then, I not only made sure
   it was replicable, I even submitted a possible fix.
 * I’m not sure what your condescending link was for.

 * I don’t think he was condescending, he was showing you where bug reports go.

 * If there was an embarrased tag supported in wordpress, I’d enclose this whole
   post in it…
 * Sorry Kafkaesqui thats exactly what I was looking for – but the only thing on
   the entrance page to “mosquito” was a link to an old bug-posting doc which I 
   thought you were pointing me at!
 * Sorry again,
 * Close embarassed tag.

 * Hey, no problem. You know what they say about the ability to read someones intent
   in the one-dimensional realm that are the internets…
