Sorry, but i strongly disagree with this last assertion.
Please contribute to process bugs reported on bugzilla, and you will 
understand why.
On the contrary, your piece of advices is the best way to sink reports.
This is somewhat spamming bugzilla.
By the way, this is just a basic rule in net tools like forums to search 
for anteriority
before addressing an item.

Bugzilla has a builtin vote system. This one is disabled. This setting 
has already been addressed.
This is a choice from the dev team, not a default.
But if anyone just want to stress on the fact that a bug is really 
handicaping for him/her,
it is always possible to add a comment to an existing report, or just 
add "+1" in comment
as a vote for fixing it.

A more extensive rational against spamming bugzilla with duplicates is 
available here:

Samuel
