For me it is a given that the developers *do* care, and because of this I respect and am grateful for the work that you do.
Which is why I was a bit surprised by Harald Sitter's reaction. I think what users can contribute to the development of FOSS, including tracking bugs and feature requests, is also valuable (and shows that *also* users care), so I objected to the statement that what usr was doing was "pointless".
Yes, having a few more e-mails in the box more than the minimum necessary may be a bother, but hey, accidents happen and we don't live in an ideal world, so I wanted to urge for a bit more tolerance instead of the negation of usr's contribution implied by "pointless".
My apologies if you read that as provocative.

Respect goes both ways.
Again, thank you for your work.
