Checking the BTS is easy in comparison to having to read a > whole big FAQ. There is a problem with that, in that there is no really cheap way to do the check. (And no, I don't know how to fix this.) For someone without a cheap online connection, email checks often need several hours, and web checks cost real money. (And I've more than once been in a situation where at least one of these just didn't work at all, in the middle of an installation for example.)
