I understand where you're coming from, but you might want to reconsider.
Reporting bugs via radar is not about getting replies from Apple, but
rather about increasing the likelihood of your bugs getting fixed. It
has been often stated by Apple employees on this list and elsewhere
that the number of bug reports concerning specific issues plays an
important role in prioritizing these issues internally at Apple.
Over the years, I've reported many bugs/feature requests, and am happy
to report that, sooner or later, more than two thirds of those have
been fixed. Since some of my reports dealt with rather arcane issues, I
have reason to believe that my reporting was instrumental in getting
them fixed eventually.
Of course, sometimes I had to wait for one or two major revisions (e.g.
many bugs I reported for 10.2 were not fixed before 10.4, similarly
with Xcode 1.2/2.2), so using radar is definitely not something for the
impatient.
But comparing it to a wishing well seems too harsh. (or maybe not - I
guess this depends on how strongly you believe in the effectiveness of
wishing wells ;-)
Actually, my experience lately on apple's bugreporter page when ATTEMPTING to report my xcode 2.2 editor bug earlier
encountered an error 500 from apple's server. This means the bug wasn't submitted. I tried 3 times and
got the same error 500. So, my latest experience of bugreporter.apple.com leads me to believe it's not
only a wishing well but a wishing well with a rubber cap on it to prevent pennies from getting into it.
