Doing that only fixes the problem or you, and nets us more requests for shotguns. On the other hand, if you take the time to help us identify the species, we can eradicate it, and save a lot of shotguns going off all over, as well as a lot of future requests for the same. If it gets fixed in the source tree, it's fixed for all time; if it gets fixed on your machine, it's a problem for all time.
