Yes, indeed, why? Why do you feel the need to insult someone who is
trying to provide constructive feedback?

This attitude is becoming more prevalent in the free software world, and
it saddens me. "If you can't provide a fix, then we don't want to hear
from you".
There might be many valid reasons why someone would provide feedback
without a patch. For the record, I think we should be happy to receive
feedback even if the submitter:
- Does not have the skills to provide a solution.
- Does not have the time to provide a solution.
- Can not be bothered to provide a solution (after all, we can't get
involved in *everything*, can we?)
