Have a good day!May I add (4) not everyone immediately thinks (or agrees) that it is not good to just include a link without also posting the relevant text from that link.I think posting the link with a summary of other relevant informationis sufficient. I respect that opinion of the poster of message #10 of my bug, but I don't think I must agree with it. Now I know that's what he expects,and I will try to remember that in future interactions with him. All the best, Chuck
Also, other people might be offended if I posted the link and did what the author of #10 wanted me to do, also include the relevant text of the link. What effect does that have? Suppose someone reads the link and then comes back to my message and finds repeated what I already said in the link. He/she becomes annoyed that I wasted her/his time. When I was formulating my initial bug report, how was I supposed to know how the author of message #10 wanted me to create my bug report? Cheers, Chuck
