All this is the main reason why I'm starting to feel it might be better
to refer new users to the support instead of asking them to file a bug.
It will make Logitech support staff more aware of the problems users
have and if will result in faster feedback to the user an we can avoid
a lot of incomplete bug reports and duplicates in bugzilla.

At the moment it feels like we are "hiding" the problems in unconfirmed
bugs which also results in frustrated users who feels ignored. The
Logitech support staff might also not be aware of all the frustrated
users as long as they don't monitor these forums.

The situation for enhancement requests is a bit different, for
enhancements it feels like voting could be a good idea. Enhancement
requests with less than three votes are probably not worth to consider.
