Comment 21 for bug 119707

Good evening,

No, I'm just a user of "Ubuntu Linux 9.10", and I had several bugs on my
current version, so I sent reports so you can repair them. And I thought he
was giving his identity to send the various bug reports.

Bonsoir,

Non, je suis un simple utilisateur de "Ubuntu Linux 9.10", et j'ai eu
plusieurs bugs sur ma version actuelle, j'ai donc envoyé des rapports afin
que vous puissiez les réparer. Et je pensais qu'il fallait donner son
identité pour envoyer les différents rapports de Bug.
