+ <p>If you send a bug report or minor enhancement request because of a
+ problem to the bacula-devel list, and you do not provide the information
+ requested below, particularly the Bacula version, it is <b>very</b>
+ frustrating for us, because it is quite often the case that your problem is
+ version dependent, and likely already fixed. In such case, we will note
+ the problem, but you will be unlikely to get a response, especially if we
+ are busy, because it forces us to first ask you what version you are using
+ (or other information), then deal with your response, thus doubling the
+ time for us. If we do ask you for information, please include <b>all</b>
+ the previous correspondence in each email, otherwise you force us to search
+ the archives to find what you previously wrote. In short, if you want a
+ response, please see "Information Needed" below.
