Please reconsider your attitude.  You open a barrage of reports across  
which you distribute the information, apparently expecting people to hunt  
through all of them. You refuse to use the regular channels for reporting  
bugs, you ignore the explanations about why your "bug" is documented and  
expected behavior, and you claim that it is the duty of LilyPond developers  
("you are the ones who should be interested in bugs, no matter in which way  
they are submitted.") to waste their time on your antics.

If you take a look at the volume of bug reports that get handled by the  
LilyPond developers and the supporting teams, you'll find that a lot of  
high quality work is being done, for free.  Doing that amount of work  
requires organization.  Our bug squad actually does a rather good job of  
streamlining bug reports reported to the lists, as explained in  
documentation and in the issue report form in the tracker as well, thus  
saving the occasional bug reporter from having to learn the procedures.

That takes time and effort, but you are welcome to make use of this service  
provided by volunteers.  But that is not what you do here.  You decide to  
take control and misuse the mechanisms, ignoring all instructions.  And you  
do this repeatedly and ignore the feedback given to you, both concerning  
your problem itself as well as the ways we established for dealing  
efficiently with problems.

With commercial products, there is often a layer of technically unskilled  
support personnel paid for dealing politely with this kind of users.

This is not the situation here.  There is no real compensation for the kind  
of dissatisfaction this disregard for the work of others causes, and it is  
one of the most frequent causes of developers stopping to work on a project.

So please consider the consequences of your actions, and don't regard the  
time and feelings of others working on the project as less important than  
that of yourself.

Thank you.
