I do not care either about the exact wording... the only point I'm
looking to improve upon is that
'Works for me' is a cop-out and is bound to put the recipient in a bad
mood even a willing and cooperative reporter.
I'd like wording that reflect that the bug is not just 'ignored' or
the report dismissed, but that it cannot be acted upon, due to
a lack of follow up by the reporter or other in position to reproduce,
or due to an apparent
impossibility to reproduce coupled with a lack of exploitable data
from the original report.

Yes it won't prevent some of the outburst we see on occasion, but at
least it won't feed the beast
either.
