Sorry for my wording, it was not meant personally.

It's a general problem in bug trackers that one person reports one 
issue, and other people say "I have the same bug" and start discussing 
their problem, which might or might not turn out to be the same.

And the result was e.g. here that Venki marked #10377 as a duplicate of 
#10117 saying "Both are Core 2 Duo based with 64 bit kernel." although 
this is not true for the bug #10117 was originally created for.
