If the supplied example works correctly, the bug is closed.

Is it really too much to ask for:

1. people to submit bug reports to bugzilla, not the n.g.?

2. provide an example of the bug?

Making me debug the provided example and/or guess what the submitter actually 
intended is too much to ask. (Often the subject line is completely wrong, too, 
and I often fix them.)

I've been cutting and pasting your n.g. bug reports to bugzilla. This really 
does not scale.
