But if it says it is not good enough, and you can't give any more
information,
what else do you want it to do? I see no point in additional 'warnings' -
the point is already made when it said that it is not useful.

No, I strongly disagree. I gave some info. I have done these reports
before. It used to be that if you only gave a short description, it asked
if you could give more info, and if you said no, it would continue the
report. Now it just quits without warning.
