See, you think you are doing the submitter a favour.
I prefer the point of view that the submitter does us a favour.
Something is wrong, and people work around it.
But they tell us about it. If we want we can try to fix.

Very often it is needed later - fortunately Google helps.
A more focused data base might help even better.
