Not a good example but a start...

 

Using the search string option in the archive

Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] Suggestion to void frequently asked questionsand solved user errors?

Hi all,

 

When a user run into problems, it seems to me, that user will post to the gr-list *help: it doesn't work*

even if the problem has been solved 100 times before.

 

When I run into problems (not a GR guru) I browse the archives first https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/ 

and inject *my problem* into the search string box. 75% sure that my problem is there, if not I use google and try harder. 

 

In my opinion it would be easier to do a quicker search when the *user problem* was solved if

user would add [SOLVED] *...my terrible problem...* to the subject line?

I think this is common behaviour on other groups?

 

If the subject line had that tag, [SOLVED], I think, GR admin's CPU (load would) go down dramatically and help alot of users?

 

Just as an example: Post to linux kernel using subject "Help, it doesn't work".  User solved the problem

but he never told anybody how.

 

Just a suggestion to minimize the *actual problem*,

Patrik
