Submitting to pgsql-general

I would like to see the following added to the introduction to the
pgsql-general list.

"When submitting to this list, please include the full version of
PostgreSQL and the O/S you are using.
Also, if you are reportaing a problem, it is essential that a minimal
amount of schema & data be
provided in order to duplicate problem being reported, as well as exact
error verbage encountered and
any relevant extracts from the postgresql log file(s)."

At the very least, a link to

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Guide_to_reporting_problems
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/SlowQueryQuestions

would be helpful

While some may think there are cases where this is irrelavant, there are
now in existence seveeral
versions of PostgreSQL across multiple operating systems. It it not
inconcievable that a bug (or problem)
being reported in a previous version & O/S has already been corrected in a
newer one. Likewise, something
that may occur in one version & O/S may not occur in another.

If it is just a general query, keep in mind that new features are
constantly being added with each new
release, so something previously impossible (or done another way) in a
previous version, may now be
simplified with the implementation of a new function/feature.

I encourage additional suggestions as to what should be included when
submitting queries to this list.
