Sure the English wasn't the best but there was enough information in the 
post to identify the likely source of the problem - with a little help 
from my favourite search engine - and give the guy/gal some ideas of 
where to look for a solution.

If you were required to answer the question then asking the poster to 
phrase it better is going to help solve the issue faster but for a 
mailing list like this simply ignore it.
