Thank you for closing my bugzilla account...

Hi,
Yesterday there was a session indeed but there was misunderstanding
regarding the bug status,  ie, RESOLVED LATER, RESOLVED CLOSED,
VERIFIED, etc.
It would be better if we could put some details regarding the bug
status on the bugzilla or FAQ pages, as there are some differences in
the explanation of these.
I am used to a different bug management app (ClearDDTS) where there
are only 4-5 states a bug can
have.(NEW,ASSIGNED,OPEN,RESOLVED,VERIFIED)
Sorry, i caused any misunderstanding.

bye,
Vijay (infyquest)
