I fully agree. In fact, I much prefer someone include a lot of information and maybe include too much than that the person trying to help has to ask for more information. The one thing that would have made the mail even better was if shell output was put between markers like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Terminal contents --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Some mail clients auto-format this, which makes the e-mail more readable, but even without special formatting it helps a /lot/ with the flow. > 4) it avoids running pastebin javascript. In fact, Werner refuses to look at pastes on sites that require JavaScript. That means you lose out on the expertise of the person who knows the most about GnuPG! :-) 7) This is an FSF mailing list. Solely relying on libre services is much preferred in any case. Suggesting people use non-free software quickly ends up in the "not allowed here" territory! Back on topic, I /do/ completely agree with Oscar Carlsson that it is rather futile to compile stuff for an OS that will be unsupported in a few weeks. Running an unsupported OS should not be done in almost every instance. Running security software like GnuPG on an unsupported OS is an enormous red flag and defeats the purpose of GnuPG IMNSHO. My 2 cents, Peter. PS: I found it ironic that the person admonishing someone to be concise was the one who forgot to trim the quotes per list rules :-P. This is tongue in cheek and should not be taken seriously. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail. You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
