Just to clarify my reasoning, because I just now thought about the
_real_ reasoning lol, I often look thru lists of bugs that are
resolved as fixed and (although i havent done it in a few years, i was
going to start again), post a message to ask if the reporter can
confirm if it is fixed.  So I was closing bugs that were
invalid/abandoned/dupe/worksforme so that they wouldnt show in the
lists of resolved bugs, so its less I have to sort thru....
