Notice however, that any respondent worth his salt usually checks
whether the relevant information is actually on that help page, reads
the post again and gives a few thoughts to whether ?something should
be sufficient to get the poster on track. Usually takes at least a
couple of minutes. (And, given email delays, the responder often finds
half an hour later that 6 other people did likewise.)
