[I had a bit of trouble picking which list to use; I guess Wiki
pages are part of our docs, in a way...]

How do people feel about "TL;DR:" being used at the start of a Wiki
page to which we want to direct users?

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Guid...rting_problems

I'll go first -- I hate it.

Every time I bring up the page before referring a user there, I find
that those geeky capital letters in bold screaming at me are
distracting and annoying. Since Craig obviously doesn't, I didn't
want to just change it without other input.

Personally, I think "keep reading" in bold probably covers it.

I think it's a pretty lousy way to start off this page in particular;
way too flippant for something we point newcomers to when they ask
for help. +1 for rewriting in a more formal style.

I took a shot at reworking the portion ahead of the TOC, but I know
there are better wordsmiths than I out there. If anyone wants to
redo it, I won't be offended.

I have a feeling the "Why were you sent this link?" section is a
little harsh, too; but haven't taken a run at that yet.

Ok, I made some changes. The numbering really stymied me.

Greg -- is there a better way to manage the numbering? One of the problems
with the long lists is that they are not numbered - so if you're a poor bug
reporter trying to scan that list, you lose your place. But I want the
formatting to be consistent without having to give numbers to the
sub-points.
