Because they would want the bug fixed, obviously.If you don't want the bug identified and fixed, fine. Have a nice day, and thanks for stopping by.
All the relevant
bug information was in the original email.
No, it wasn't.The relevant information includes items "a" through "d", which all your previous dissertations on this subject did not include.
You want the solution too?
Listen, slim: on several occasions in the past where I've been bit by some bug which I've tracked down, and identified the fix, do you know what I did?
I posted the actual details, including the patch, in Bugzilla. I did not bitch, whine, and moan about it, and play guessing games with everyone else, expecting them to figure out the bug on their own.
And do you know what happened next, a few days later? The bug was fixed, and the patch applied.
You should try that approach, sometimes.But, if you want to feel superior, high and mighty, I suppose you can play your game of sitting on a throne and challenging the mere peons, down below, to figure out what your magnificient, oversized brain already knows. Allegedly.
But, you'll just have to play by yourself. Nobody cares.
