16 Dropping bugs and forcing maintainer to review and spend time to check
17 if there is a problem and what was the reported problem at all creates
18 more work. And I consider anything creating more load for others which
19 was not requested not as helpful.

21 That said, I don't have these problems with toralf's reports. They are
22 more complete and will show the problem in the report for most bugs.

27 I do not agree with this conclusion. Just because developers didn't
28 ignore you and spent additional time to understand and try to help like
29 we normally do when we get reports from inexperienced users, doesn't
30 mean it was a pleasure...
