Comment:

 I think it's dangerous to close bugs as "duplicate" without referencing a
 specific example of what it is being considered a duplicate of.  It's too
 easy to misunderstand the nuances of the actual bug report.  Citing an
 original gives the original reporter a chance to clearly evaluate whether
 the original bug is in fact a duplicate, or merely a related issue.

 If you don't mind finding at least one example for which this is a
 duplicate, that will probably also be useful to make a note of so that you
 can have it handy when you inevitably run into the other bugs which you
 also consider duplicates.
