It's more polite and probably easier to understand. at least to me, "give" hides the fact that the user will still have some work to do (e.g. installing devel/debug packages and trying to reproduce the crash), while "get" implies this. if i ask somebody (he) to *give* me something (it), then i imply that he already got it. if i ask somebody to *get* me something, then he first has to do something to get it before he can give it to me. that's why i would prefer "get" here. :-) cheers, andre -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | failed! http://www.iomc.de
