Sorry, I have no idea how to make my bug reports any clearer. Only on 
very rare occasions I've had this kind of problem with the 
OpenOffice.org QA.
One of my NEEDINFO issues has been fixed after I added a document for a 
most obvious bug ("most obvous" means: apply built-in feature with 
options and see).
Some other guy could not copy and run a Basic snippet (facepalm).
I recognize that some other bug is intended (implicit conversion of 
ambiguous strings).
I recognize that *any* new feature from anybody is embraced even when it 
comes without documentation, without API, without reason, let alone 
specification.
I recognize that there are plenty of resources for proprietary file 
formats and unapproachable VBA compatibility.

This software is like a sandheap where some people pile up more material 
while others inject water. To the outside world everything looks great 
so far ...
