You've been around programming for 20 years or so then, and you can't
submit a proper bug report?  And then to further your point you blame
a developer who's system actually works for "not fixing your problem"?
 Without a proper bug report with some valuable debugging info showing
where the code is broken (and thus ruling out some other problem) the
developer has very little more to offer.  But as a person who's been
around programming long enough to hear "common phrases from 20 years
ago used today" we should assume you know all this.

That or you are just a troll...
