Well, I was being a smartass (somewhat), but here is part of a post I saw a
day or so ago that sums it up pretty well:


"All the technical groups I have read over time insist on minimal test
cases and this is for 2 reasons I know of:

1) The process of creating the test case very often leads to the
OPs seeing and fixing the problem for themselves without the need
for any more help.

2) It is easy to diagnose problems when there are no lines of code which
aren't relevant to the problem. Posting complete files requires
investigators to understand the whole system to know what is relevant and
what is not, and it leaves the job of creating the test case to the
investigators, which is not a fair division of labour :-P"


I really believe the prob could be easily solved with more info.

MS used to but I think they're slowly changing their collective mind.
