- What if it's too hard?
- Might help someone else fix it.
- People will take your bug report more seriously.

Will you waste a lot of time chasing your tail?

open source model:

Developers are volunteering their time to fix your bug;

so if you put some time into trying to make their job easier,

they notice and appreciate it.
