[wp-forums] Should we have a "headers already sent" sticky?

[James Huff]

I see what you mean, especially with the lost password and theme  
decode stickies.

In fact, a good example against a common issue sticky would be the  
image uploader sticky. It seems that no one checks it because they  
each think their problem is unique. Similarly, almost everyone one  
with the headers already sent error thinks that not only is it unique  
to them, but it is apparently either the end of the world or a  
WordPress bug too.

Well, played, Sir! That's why I asked first.
