Hmm, I usually write this to the bug number and if the reporter doesn't give 
a way to reproduce it, I close the bug. Very often, people give more details 
and I can reproduce it.

Not necessarly. But finding _the_ bug in a list of 200. Many bugs are there, 
but don't really stop you from using an application or add real usuability 
problem (I'm not talking about feature requests here!!), but I don't find the 
real ones among them.
