While this is a nice anecdote I can't help feeling that the more
you bring random stories into this thread the less likely people
are to pay attention, and listen.
Your original issue was:
"Reported bug. Didn't get a useful response".
That is unfortunate, and I'd like to believe atypical.
Regardless the point has been made, and people from both sides have
basically agreed that this is unfortunate, and that we as developers
should do better at handling bugs. Also that users should be expected
to be patient, and polite. Ideally giving followup etc.
Attempting to sidetrack us with irrelevancies such as your own
personal business, how bug-free your code is, and similar is
not useful.
