Aside from possibility of interest in the exposed query, what's the point of copying as pasting the error you just got?

As oxtopus said, this is something I never hope to see on a trading site. Especially just for counting views.

And really? 5 downvotes for saying that the link does't work? This community has really declined.

Downvotes for an error message posted with no context[1] on the other hand, are entirely appropriate.

[1] The error appears to have been fixed, so reading the article provides no context - I didn't even realize that that was where it had appeared until reading brk's comment.

Isn't the context clear? Do I really need to say "This error message is the whole content of the story?" Aren't you guys a little smarter than that?

I received those downvotes the entire time the website was down.

I'm just guessing, but I'm thinking the code that runs their forum is vastly different from the code that runs their business.
