Just an observation from my side: if I see a request for help on this mailing list where the sender merely pastes a link and does not bother to condense and summarize the information in the linked page, to help potential helpers, I am highly unlikely to even click on that link, let alone to try to help.

Maybe you would want to spend as much effort on a request for help as you would like to ask people to spend on a reply?

Ciao, Johannes
