If you do not care, why should we do our best to help you?
You submitted a bug ticket with a problem mentioning that your
top(1) blew up while resizing it in xterm. Edwin tries to resolve
that problem, so he asks you some specifics to get that going.

Now you tell us that you do not know and dont care. If that is
really true, then please do not submit any problem reports at
all. We as a community try to invest time in resolving problems
that get in, if then submitters just "interestingly" say that
they do not care, why should we invest the time?

Edwin: Feel free to do with the PR what you wish.

(P.S. I am speaking for myself on this one, this feels like throwing 
away precious volunteer time and lacking respect for people that
try to resolve things).
