More accurately in this context: "... unless you are someone (developer
or otherwise) with an ADC account."

A bug is a bug (or not) whoever reports it. What's the avenue for
responsible, paying customers who are not "registered developers" to
point out faults in the software? Apart from whinging in their local
forums, that is?

Well, I don't particularly require cosmic power. :-) Nor was I
complaining about having to fill in a report form in the prescribed
manner. We all hate having our time wasted because a problem's been badly
described or because a vital clue's been withheld. My issue is with
having to sign up for something that's currently of no interest to me,
pretend I'm something I'm not, and join the "in set" just for the
_privilege_ of reporting a bug.
