I don't see why that would be any worse than what we have now.  First,
not every email setup works off-line, either.  Second, there are Web
browsers that, like some email software, _can_ be set to work
off-line.  Third, most users have active net connections most of the
time.  And forth, almost no one in their right mind will try sending a
bug report via the net when they know they have no net connection.
