   Not totally useless, and quality of reports varies, but they have 
identified some routing problems for me.

   I also find most of the 'other' class reports to be unusable without 
an explanation from the reporter.  Occasionally you can spot something 
that doesn't look right and fix it.

  The 'Verification code' is time sensitive, and at times requires a 
second entry if you enter it after correcting a problem for some time. 
  If it asks more than twice, something may be broken.
