No worries. I meant that if you had any questions about the
bug-reporting process or how to answer any of the questions in the
report, you could get help in here.

It looks like that won't be necessary, though, because it turns out
that Ubuntu's bug-tracking interface only asks one question and oh,
so kindly gives you an "I don't know" option as one of its possible
answers, so you should be all set. I wish some of the other
bug-trackers I use would take a page from Ubuntu's play-book.

Perhaps, but I'm more of a bull-in-a-china-shop when it comes to that
and will dash off to file a bug report the moment an issue becomes an
annoyance. Maybe I should try putting out some feelers first to see
if others have experienced it or would consider it to be something of
concern.
