vicmarcal - I have a lot of mental conditions and a disability. In fact
these affect me enough (as well as other work) that I find it difficult to
make real contributions to ROS other than the occasional patch here and
there. If there is a problem it may be worth letting people know about it
- at least in IRC - so that this sort of thing does not happen again.
After all how can one help if one does not understand the problem.

Hi Caemyr!
I am quite worried you didnt notice my mental status before, as I have
been around for almost 3 years now. I am trying to get over this small
handicap.
Meanwhile, maybe you can begin looking yourself, reflect on your
overreacted email and apologize.
I am pretty easy to find on IRC so sending this kind of email is just
unnecessary spam to a list that has not been created for this kind of
stuff.
Do you know that premise about "Talk and Share in Private before moving
to Public". If not, please, learn about it.I am sure it'll help in your
real life too and it is really needed when working in a project with
other mates.
Now let me reply your suggestions/opinions:

Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
Bugzilla is crowded with untouched bugs for so
long, and you HAVE to
add more crud to it?
I'll ignore the "crud" word in this sentence(as
I'll talk about the
report you pointed later). Do you mean you prefer not sending bugreports
to Bugzilla?
Of course I can ignore bugs when testing and not reporting to Bugzilla,
but THE Tester work is reporting anything wrong. So I'll keep sending
bugreports even if they get totally ignored.
Bugs like no.6214, very usefull as we can see
below:
"1)Download ClickToDesktop
2)Run in ReactOS
3)Click on the desktop to hide. It doesn't
work. Apps just lost the
focus.
Nothing appears in the DebugLog."
Could you quote my WHOLE bugreport and not
just a "piece of it"?
http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6214
You will see not just the replication method but also: the ReactOS
revision tested, a link to download the app, the Source code of the App
and information about How it works.
No, I am not going to make easy jokes about visual impairment because
these guys have all my respect:
"r51583
ClickToDesktop:

Click on the desktop to hide all windows,
Features:
- Or click at the middle part of the top of the screen.
- Click again to unhide.
SourceCode:
http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/ClickToDesktop/ClickToDeskto…
1)Download ClickToDesktop
2)Run in ReactOS
3)Click on the desktop to hide. It doesn't work. Apps just lost the
focus.
Nothing appears in the DebugLog."
And now we can talk about "how bad the bugreport is" or in your words
"crud report" because not following the Wiki way of reporting it:
(Paragraph extracted from our Wiki)
Reproduction method using step by step
instructions.
DONE
Hardware or virtual machine configuration.
DONE
Tested ReactOS version (verify also that it does
happen on nightly
builds)
DONE
The version of the application tested (if any)
and a download link
(URL).
DONE
Screenshot of the problem if it's a graphical
bug (add the attachment
in Bugzilla).
It is not a graphical bug. DONE
Debug log for crashes, freezes and application
errors. See Debugging to
see how to obtain a high quality debug output.
There is nothing in the DEBUG LOG. Nothing as NO NEW LINE in putty after
launching the app. DONE.
Choose a concise bug title.
DONE
Do not post more than one issue in a single bug
report.
DONE
Plus I have added a link to the SourceCode of the app. So, Caemyr, may
you tell me which guideline/s I am not following?
Again, even if my bugreport is not good enough(I am open to criticism
and Dev pointing me to add any useful debugchannels to obtain extra
debugging), there are ways to tell it. And no, you don't know how to
tell things. I am pretty offended by the way you said it, not by the
content. Don't use ReactOS to help you in your personal attacks.
PD: Considering I am Spanish, that my blood is much hotter than any
European around, I has been quite polite.
