Thanks for the kind words Michael, however I think they miss the main point:

That's however not entirely correct. I clearly stated how the bug can be reproduced. I doubt Nick Ellery tried to follow my steps, I certainly might be misstaken though. Nevertheless I replied to his inquiry one month later, again with instructions, without any visible action from anybody on this bug to this day. The bug wasn't even confirmed alltough it's quite trivial to do so.
The next question was Pedro Villavicencio's boilerplate (see LP:331767 for a discussion of that particular process) which I suspect is a semi-automatic script intended to expire inactive bugs. Is it?

If anybody is serious about fixing bugs, then please do reproduce it, the instructions are there and not difficult. If the goal is to expire as many bugs as possible, then don't count me in taking the time ever again to reply to one of those boilerplates, where it's "author" didn't care either to reproduce or fix the bug.
