to looking stupid on this list as opposed to looking stupid on bugzilla.

But on this list, someone who just solved the same problem is likely to respond instead of developers who may or may not get something in the next release.

There is little room to coddle people who rant on this list and don't
report their issues to bugzilla since it is specifically bugzilla that
was created for fixing problems with the software. Ranting on this list
doesn't get things fixed and reporting to bugzilla is designed just for
that purpose.

Or, in bugzilla you may after some long time get:
"This bug has been mass-closed along with all other
bugs that have been in NEEDINFO state for several
months."


Here, you may at least get suggestions that let you move on to something that works in some short amount of time.
