Agreed in general. And whilst I'm here can I throw in my 2c about "Bogus"? Although an accurate description, it's hardly likely to be perceived as friendly. If you've taken the time to report a bug, even if you are in error, having it thrown back as "Bogus" seems pretty mean. How about a less antagonistic wording? I'd put forward something like "NotaBug", which gives the same information without putting people's backs up.
