Because, as has been stated so often, posting messages to a list
will not cause any change.
If you complain about something on a list but don't actually file a
bug report, then you're simply wasting everyone's time.
You're making the unjustified assumption that my original comment was
a complaint intended to cause a change. As is clear from what I said -
or at least it should have been - I can live with things as they are,
so my original comment was merely that: a comment. Last I checked,
people can still post comments in this list, provided they are related
to the list's subject matter. That is, comments don't *have* to imply
an action.
Whether or not it's an actual *error* is immaterial -- it's a
usability issue. It's still considered as a bug.
Not if it's a usability issue to only a very small group of people,
which seems to be the case here.
Bug reports don't have to be a novel. You could have spent less
time filing a bug report than you have posting messages to this
thread.
Since you're going to one extreme, let me go to the other. What do you
think the result would be if someone filed a request that just said
"add spaces to the documentation" ? If this is something important to
me, I'd make the effort to be thorough in my reasoning when filing a
request. Being thorough does not equate to writing a novel, but it
still requires time.
You would also have better respected others' time.
It's the second time in your message that you subtly accuse me of
wasting your time (and other people's). No one forced you to read my
posts.
Efforts posting to a list without filing a bug report are certainly
wasted.
See the first paragraph of this reply.
It's clearly sufficiently important an issue that you're willing to
bring it to several thousand other people's attention. If it's
important enough for that, it's important enough for a bug report.
Another unjustified assumption. If my intention was to bring this
specific matter to the attention of several thousand people with the
specific intention of effecting change, I would have done it in a
separate thread, not in this thread. As I pointed out above, my
original message was merely a comment.
So, ease off with the head-chewing.
Please don't misrepresent others' behaviour.
I don't think I did that and I stand by my request. Your "This is
simply baffling" was clearly judgmental, and uncalled for in a public
venue.

Not that I see a reason to continue this exchange, but should you
choose to do so, we should do it off the list.
