Majority of the "bogus" bugs are truly bogus, I see no reason to
change a perfectly valid term used to describe bugs.

addition to tagging something "bogus" would make a lot of bug
reporters
happier and it might make them fix their bug report.

This is a plea for not being quite so bogus-trigger-happy as we have
in the past.
Many correct, if incomplete, bug reports get quickly labeled "bogus"
with no real research, and that only makes it even harder for
anybody
to do anything useful...
I know it's [hard] work to wade through those things, to some
degree,
but you make your life more miserable with incorrect assessment. :-)
Please do not take this request amiss! It is an attempt, however
small, to make your life better, not to complain about your efforts!
I think lagging 6-12 months behind on bug reports would be much
worse.
If the bug report is incomplete and isn't likely to lead to a
resolution
I think it is better to let the reporter know sooner rather than
later.
The fact that we only have 2 or 3 people regularly looking at
these and
the flow of them is ever increasing doesn't leave us with much choice
here. If more people helped out we could spend more time on each
one,
but until that happens, the quick-bogus is going to continue.
