For an earlier matter, about which I was completely confident, I did do
exactly as you suggested. However on the matter enclosed below, I did not
know why I was getting the error although I had an idea. I wanted to discuss
it with the author. That requires that the wiki page have the facility to
discuss a page rather than just edit it. Furthermore, simply leaving a note
would rely on the author coming back to the page, which may or may not
happen anytime soon. The great thing about e-mail is that it serves as a
"push" communication.
