Well, taking your advice, I thought about it again. I still think negative reinforcement for people trying to help you is a bad thing. I'd rather know about a bug, even if the person telling me isn't volunteering to fix it; at least I'd be aware of the bug, and might fix it myself. Kicking people in the head for telling me about bugs may reduce the number of bugs I get told about, but it won't mean they aren't there, and I can't personally fix a bug I don't know is there. So I don't understand what you thought was wrong with my comment... can you explain?
