Your message initially didn't have that link; so thanks for providing
it.
I think I over-reacted because I'm used to seeing people give
lists of alleged problems in software, but without enough details to
allow anybody else to confirm them, or investigate.
Sometimes you'll get lucky and somebody else will report it; but posting
to the users mailing list thing like:
* I use software XX but it is buggy and now I use something else
Just feels like a random rant, not the start of a useful or productive
discussion. (Which is pretty much what you did.)

Indeed. Still if it affects one site it probably affects others,
unless it is caused by a particularly malformed
HTML/javascript/whatever that site uses behind the scenes.
On that basis its useful to report, if only so that other users
of that particular site can see it.
Even without that perhaps saving the page, and associated media
to your local machine might still trigger it. If that is the case you
can trim down the page(s) a lot and see if you can find out what causes
it yourself. (Assuming you're familiar with HTML & so on.)
