You haven't received a refusal. you've been asked to submit the full details in a way we can actually use them. and taking mike's mail out of the context of the rest of that message to you (where he is asking you to get a traceback and the information we are going to need to know what your problem is) makes someone who is trying to help get the information from you look like a jerk. He didn't *refuse* anything, he asked you for more information so he could find someone to look at the bug. NOBODY is going to pay any attention to you without the right information. people will pay attention when you submit the right stuff. So perhaps you should reconsider your tone. And look at your email.
