You are silly to jump on such a comment (with a kidding smily yet!) as if it
were a nasty complaint or criticism.  For the record, I do not consider Stefan
to act quickly only on bug reports that are unimportant.

And I, for my part, would have closed the mistaken report sooner than within 6
minutes, if I had had a bug number to close.

As soon as I posted the bug report I realized my mistake, but I had to wait
until the bug showed up at http://debbugs.gnu.org/ to get the number. I
specifically went to that site instead of waiting for the confirmation mail with
the bug number (which takes even longer), in order to shorten the time before
closing.  IOW, I closed the bug as quickly as I knew how.
