Sigh. If what you've been trying to do is report something that you believe is a bug, you're not doing it in an effective or helpful way. Plus, the tone of this post seems purely intended to antagonize people. The purpose of a bug report is *not* to tell someone that something is broken. The simple fact is that the vast majority of bug reports are attributable to user error, misconfiguration at the user's end, etc. "It doesn't work" isn't useful information; if it didn't work at all, someone would have noticed, including people who have tried it and who think it worked for them; and so there's likely to be something different about your situation or what you're expecting to see, and that information needs to be provided. So telling someone that something isn't working for you isn't enough. The purpose of the bug report is to tell the developers everything they need to know to be able to see whatever's wrong happen for them just like it's happening for you. Without this, they cannot reproduce the problem; and without reproducing the problem, it's incredibly difficult to solve it. I heartily encourage you to take a look at "How to Report Bugs Effectively," at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html It's a brief, well-written piece that will help you not just here, but with any software or hardware issue with any provider, open source or commercial.
