At this point, we should just put it in our .sig files and save the typing.
You'd think, after 30+ years of computing, that people would "get" the
whole "thorough problem reporting" thing.  But nope...apparently not.

Have you guys considered starting a wiki for this kind of stuff.  Things
like this and some other topics come up every few months.

Of course...people would probably ignore the wiki's presence and -still-
ask, but then we could skewer and fillet them without remorse.  Okay, I
personally already feel no remorse...with negative remorse, then--we could
-enjoy- it, guilt-free!
