Re: No more "me too" posts.

Note that most of us defending "me too"s are also trying to encourage
the additional info bit, without attempting to quash any "me too"
activity altogether (which you appear to be doing - or have I
misunderstood your intent there?)


If you are adding valuable information, such as "my Foobar computer
with XYZ video and KLM
memory experiences a similar problem under ABC conditions", that would
be great. But just saying "me too" helps no one.

The grass roots feedback to the effect "this is a wide spread issue" is
important. I suspect that there will be a reply of the like "the devs
know if an issus is widespread..." forming in your mind.

Not at all, I don't expect that the devs would know anything that is
not explicitly reported.

While I'm sure
this is *sometimes* true - if I had a dollar for every time I'd seen a
case of devs suggesting bugs are specific to a user's system or result
of misconfiguration - only to be proved wrong by a flurry of "me
too"s... I'd be able to buy a lot of beer :-)


It has been said that if Bill Gates had a nickel for every bug in
Windows, he'd be a billionaire!
