I've been bit more than once by a search turning up a mailing list or forum post discussing what's probably my problem only to find vital information missing my being elsewhere. Sometimes a mailing list post points to a long-dead forum. Other times, a pastebin has killed the content. A pastebin is useful for IRC, but for a mailing list or forum, place the data alongside the prose, e.g. a (MIME) attachment. Let them live or die together. -- Cheers, Ralph.
