I think you got it backwards. Mark and other bug reporters (including, at times, yours truly) are helping you and other developers to make Linux better. Most of the times I report a bug, I am not asking for help - I have no personal need to get it fixed, as I can easily avoid it, and I only report it to give developers like you a chance to fix it before it really hurts someone - and I gather that Mark has been in a similar position wrt to the bug in question. So what would you have us do? Not report the bugs we find so that you don't have to invest your spare time on "our" bugs? Report them and accept a rebuke for our "unwillingness" to do even more benevolent work than we already did? Report only those for which we really need a fix, and are consequently willing to invest additional time?
