That is not what I'm complaining about.

I'm complaining about the fact that you *always* argue against closing 
bugreports.

You have argued against it for over a YEAR now. And every single time I 
tell you that you are wrong, and exactly *why* you are wrong.

If a reporter doesn't respond to say "it's still open", it needs to be 
closed. It doesn't matter one whit whether there has been developer action 
on it or not. We cannot keep old reports open - it's a total waste for 
developers to even _look_ at anything that is more than roughly a month 
old and hasn't been verified to be still be an issue.
