It's fun to certain point. I've also come to same conclusion as Antony
and I only take a peek once in a while to the bug db nowadays. Which is
propably a relief to some people reporting stuff there. ;)

That's the main issue in here, somehow the common thinking is that
someone pays (all) the people going over the reports. Having done the
"job" for about 6 years now, I can count the "thank you" messages with
one hand. And that includes the extremely rare cases when I got paid by
them..:)
