This is true. I've ran into people doing that before elsewhere and the |
| 21 |
place they put the logs would have deleted the files. A lot of places |
| 22 |
that allow you to post files, delete them after a while which means |
| 23 |
anyone searching later can't even see what the problem was. Given they |
| 24 |
are usually free, who can blame them. |

Usually, I post the part at the end, making sure to get the "error 1" |
| 27 |
part and a dozen or so prior lines. If more is needed, then I can post |
| 28 |
what is needed when asked. |

This list is different since we archive things pretty much forever. |
| 31 |
Heck, I even save my local storage of email for years here. One never |
| 32 |
knows what they may run into that searching the past helps. |

I wonder, why doesn't someone set up a wiki page that contains the way |
| 35 |
Gentoo mailing lists work? Maybe link to it from the page that lists |
| 36 |
all the mailing lists and how to subscribe. That would help people to |
| 37 |
know how Gentoo does things, differently at least. |
