Bug Description
Hello,
A bit of user experience: I filed a bug, and saw the green "This bug affects me too" link.
I thought that it was a way for *marking* the bug as affecting me, and I started filing a bug that the default should be that a bug that I report affects me. I found that bug #285167 was already closed, and then I discovered that clicking the link actually lets me mark the bug as *not* affecting me.
I suggest:
1. Removing the "too" from the label. I think that it doesn't convey any information (it's obvious that if the bug affects me it doesn't mean that others aren't affected), and I think it's misleading - for me, it sounds like "Mark me as being affected too", or "add me to the list of affected people".
2. Add a period at the end of the sentence. It seems to me that "This bug affects me" can be a shortcut for "Click me to say that 'This bug affects me'", while "This bug affects me." sounds more like a status indication (which it is).
Thanks,
Noam
