I want to make it clear that I think the best way to report a problem is with formal, rigorous, complete structure. That structure should be known to the receiving body. If there is a procedure or standard form for producing the needed information, it is better to follow the standard procedure. On the other hand (and the point I had hoped to make) some people like to take lined paper and write on it sideways [Bradbury's "Fahrenheight 451" quote]. Instead of complaining that they are writing sideways on the page, extract the information of value. If the can be convinced to "stop writing in a perpendicular manner" so that the majority will be more comfortable with it, so much the better. But standardized or not, it can still contain information of great value. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
