Notes to answerer
Asker: @Craig Meulen: I do always try to enter as much information as possible while also bearing in mind that no sensitive or confidential information should be included. Have you never had complaints from customers or agencies for posting "their sentence" on here? Maybe it is just my customers who are so touchy?

Asker: Believe me, it is immensely frustrating to me too, especially since the "Ansprechpartner" only seem to be there for ordering/billing purposes, but not for any translator's questions.

agree  philgoddard: This deserves more than a 2, even with so little context.

agree  writeaway: no context, no explanation about the what the actual problem is, no please, no thank you-just instant help from people willing to provide it. What happened to Kudoz etiquette? It's become a site for two-legged dictionaries and research units

agree  Craig Meulen: A plea for "more context" is almost standard for David's questions, unfortunately.
