Well put, Mike. I agree completely.

While I certainly agree with the logic regarding the cost to the reporters, I've seen cases where even the vaguest bug reports help the developers. The key is the plural "reports".

Suppose my USB mouse were to occasionally bite my hand. If several hundred people reported it I'm sure it would end up near the top not the bottom of someone's To Do list even if none was reproducible. Apple is in the best position to see patterns in such reports even if the problem can't be invoked at will.

So while not reporting problems because we're too busy may be valid, not doing so mainly because of an assumption that an unreproducible report will simply be discarded is not.

Cheers!
