OK, I understand that the internet doesn't translate tone very well at all. But I ask that you reread my posts and try to see them without the entitlement and criticism that you accuse me of harboring. I do not intend to criticize you or your work in anything but a constructive manner.
I created this thread because I misunderstood the nature of the Bug Report forum, because I was looking for help in ways to avoid Mafia's undesirable halting in the middle of masterfully automating turns and other tasks, and because I did not know you were already aware of this issue.
With respect to your points, I once again misunderstood the nature of the Bug Reports forum - I thought that it was a place where Mafia's devs such as yourself posted issues you considered to be of interest, and that the "Priority" number was set by you to communicate your thoughts on when it would be fixed, complexity permitting.
The fact that the Libram bug had scrolled off the front page is exactly why I posted in that topic once Spiny kindly provided me with the link to it. It seems to me that most people use Libram skills from the CLI or some other manner that Mafia tracks better than it does the Relay Browser, so you don't encounter the bug very often at all. So by lobbying about this one, as you put it, I'm keeping this bug in your attention. If you don't want it there at all, I suppose I'll shut up about it - but the fact that Mafia isn't watching what you do on the skills page leaves me a bit wary of how it is keeping track of my character state.
I absolutely and fully understand that maintaining Mafia is your hobby, and I am extremely grateful for your time and effort in helping us other players have a more streamlined and exciting experience playing KoL. I had thought that by highlighting a seemingly significant bug that appears to have passed under your notice, that I would be helpful in some manner. I was by no means seeking the answer to be provided to me on a silver platter, nor trying to be a thorn in your side - just another player, seeking help on an issue that's been making my use of your software a little less enjoyable.
Finally, I would very much like to be helpful in actively participating in the development of KoLmafia, but despite my so far three and a half years of CS study in university, I still find myself baffled with the less abstract aspects of the art of coding. Using Eclipse as an IDE, how do I go about reading the project source code?
So, once again, thank you for the work and time you put in to making KoL an even greater experience for me and the thousands of other players who use it. I am truly sorry for having miscommunicated my problem so as to insult you, and I hope that we can walk away from this thread with a bug resolved and no hard feelings.
