While true, I'm not sure that this is helpful (in its current form). I think someone being lazy is a very uncommon reason why there's limited detail posted. I think not understanding what is relevant is much more common. Something like an FRC version of ESR's how to ask questions the smart way is what's really needed. |

I also don't think "How to read Stacktraces" is the right document for this. If you want to give advice on general seeking help I think that would be ideal in a FAQ type document. This already says "full text" and I can't even count how often we get only partial traces usually with the wrong info. |
