We can be heroes, even if it's just for one day

Many thanks Mark for your assistance. I now see what you're up against, as a contributor or moderator. Ok, they're technically not trolls, but they are a subspecies; some sort of hobgoblin. As for the vintage of the page, I'm not convinced it makes any difference what version of the OS was at the time. Fundamentally, if a bug or a special case isn't fixed then it remains a continuous problem that transcends time! In my case, using relatively old hardware, vintage answers are more likely to be relevant than new. I completely take your point, of course. Thank you for your time and patience!

Awesome answer. Thank you for your input Thomas. Also thank you Mark for the link, that does shed some light on the situation. The reputation issue may protect the thread from spamming and poor quality answers, but it also prevents external users (directed by search engine) from contributing. Would you agree there ought to be less automation and more moderation; after all only warriors kill trolls, rules just slow them down!
