I've been wondering for a while now if much of the emotional reaction to bugs being closed as "bogus" is due to that very word. I mean, the reporter obviously put some work into the bug report and the issue was apparently important enough for them to even bother opening a bug report in the first place. And then, after all this effort, the verdict is that it's "bogus". Can't really think of a good alternative right now. But if a bug was closed with a more neutral "can't reproduce", "works as designed" or something like that then maybe there wouldn't be such strong reactions? Just an observation from the side lines ... bye, Dirk
