To sum it up:
1) This argument is becoming ugly.
2) The fact is, I did my best, and _DID_ provide you with _ALL_ needed
information.
(among with some useless and some mutilated text). 
3) I was trying to say that saying "too much text doesn't allow me to work on
it" is an EXCUSE. The PR had the needed information and it wasn't mutilated.
Perhaps you think that this bug seldom occures, or, perhaps you have some other
reason.
4) RAID-5 cost our company enormous down-time and cost me personally my health.
This is why I think it's dangerous and I want to warn others until this bug is
fixed.
5) I'm using webmail, thus I'm unable to control the format of the sent mail.
Sorry.
6) If it's so hard to you to dig valuable information from PR 22103, I can do it
by myself and resubmit it. Will this make any difference?
7) I appreciate your work.
