So well hidden in rants that go on and on that most people that care do
not even read the real problem hidden in the rants.

If you could just step over the fact that your opinions sometimes
differ and report problems concise and to the point in a way that the
people that can solve the problems are able to immediately take action
when they can reproduce the problem at hand, you would be so much more
appreciated.
