I don't mean to be harsh, the bug just didn't seem to be in the correct
place. It would seem much better as a post it note on your monitor than
cluttering the bug database if it's just a reminder :) Anyway, read

I still don't see why another bug filing was necessary. If you just
left the original bug in the database as 'Assigned' or 'Verified' so
that it would get noticed.

It doesn't really _bother_ me, however IMHO, it doesn't belong in the
