Hello,

Perhaps I am wrong, but I have the very strong feeling that more and more 
users are reporting problems supplying *really* poor information to the point 
that some have no information. They don't state the OS, Bacula version, the 
database they are using, nor show any output.  They simply say; "Bacula does 
this and that and it doesn't work".  

I think we need to treat these users with full respect, but refuse to answer 
questions until they read the Support page and start providing the relevant 
information.  Clearly if it is not a database problem, they don't need to say 
what database they are using, and if the omit one or two pieces but supply 
pretty much everything, we shouldn't just coldly send them to the support 
page.

However, I do suggest to save everyone's time, for those that provide really 
poor documentation, rather than asking for the details, we ask them to read 
the page and then supply the info.

Another solution might be to have a "Support form" that must be completed and 
sent before support is given.  This support form could have a few simple 
questions and requests for information that could speed up a lot of support 
requests.

Comments?
