I did not keep reopening this. I simply submitted a bug report.

You, on the other hand, have succeeded completely in hijacking this thread and
turning it into exactly what you complained about - a useless, abstract,
back-and-forth. This is _your_ discussion, not mine. You are the one wasting
time.

I have not contributed at all to your hijacked discussion (for which you didn't
even bother to change the subject line). I only presented some arguments about
the bug report, and let it go at that. Those arguments, and the bug report, have
successfully been drowned by the tumor you grafted onto the thread. Bravo -
`report-emacs-bug' now results in a flurry of crap.
