You are welcome. I just wish my reports actually led to bug fixing
activity.

Uhm. It's still April 2012 so it's not EOL yet.

Besides, you are reporting Maverick is EOL as if I only just reported
this bug yesterday. Not at all. I reported this bug 16 months ago,
while Maverick was still a very supported release and yet there hasn't
been a single thing done with this bug report the entire time except
changing it from New -> Confirmed, 4 months after it was reported.

Again, I say, this was a completely supported release when I reported
this bug so please don't lecture me on how to determine supported
releases. I know fine well what releases are supported and which ones
are not. Apparently, given that this report was completely ignored, you
folks do not understand what's a supported release and what is not.

Oh, unlike the supported release it was in 16 months ago when I first
reported it?

Why would I bother? So that this bug report can sit around for more
years to come until you can tell me it's on an unsupported release again?

Again, a whole lot of work on my part only to have this bug sit moribund
for years to come again. No thanks. I've already done my part and you
failed to do you part so why would I enter into that agreement again?

LOL. And now from Confirmed to Incomplete? You folks kill me.

I am sorry for my attitude here but the lack of activity on this bug is
all-too-common for the bugs I report about Ubuntu and I'm just so tired
of it.
