Hello?

I have not reported a problem, filed a complaint, or engaged in any pissing 
and moaning.  I'm looking for clarification as to your position regarding 
the disagreement you have with another individual.

I saw that a problem was reported.  I saw some recommended solutions.  The 
solution that you are disagreement with doesn't resolve the entire issue 
but it certainly addresses one part of the problem.

Is there any logical reason to not take that suggestion into consideration?
