+ <p>Please keep in mind that we are not getting paid for this.
Nevertheless, our desire is to see as many people using
<b>Bacula</b> as possible. So we are very willing to
provide a reasonable level of email support.
Also, if you are using Bacula in production, we highly recommend
subscribing to the bugs database at: <a href="http://bugs.bacula.org">
http://bugs.bacula.org</a> to keep informed of problems and

<p>For support, send an email to
<b>bacula-users at lists.sourceforge.net</b>, and if you are
the list. If you <em>really</em> have something confidential,
please clearly indicate it.</p>

+ You may send a preliminary bug question, a development question,
+ or minor enhancement request to the bacula-devel list. If
+ 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
+ version dependent, and possibly 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 previous correspondence in each email, to avoid us having to search
the archives to find what you previously wrote. In short, if you want a
response, please see "Information Needed" below.
