1 - You will see "SSIA" used most frequently as the only text entered in the body of a bug report. Unfortunately, it's demonstrably false and demonstrates nothing more than the writer's laziness and a lack of respect for other people's time. When filing a bug, you should always assume that the reader will have no clue what you're talking about. The more information, screenshots and links you include in a case, the less work the reader will have to do to understand what the case is about.
